DESCRIPTION

rt_task_wait blocks the currently running realtime task until the start of the next period. The task was previously marked for execution using rt_task_make_periodic.

The task is not suspended; this is done instead by rt_task_suspend. Instead, it simply gives up control until the next time period.

RETURN VALUE

Always returns 0.

ERRORS

None.
