This task ID can then be used in all other operations relating to the task. Most system calls, except t_create() and t_ident(), reference a task by its task ID. t_create() returns the task ID to a task's creator. For other tasks, one way to obtain the task ID is to use t_ident(). Arguments name Specifies the user-assigned name of the task. node In multiprocessor systems, is a search order specifier. See Multiprocessor Considerations. In a single node system, this argument must be 0. tid Points to the variable where t_ident() stores the task ID of the named task. Return Value This system call returns 0 on success, or an error code on failure. Error Codes Refer to Appendix A. t_ident 2-215
