Arguments

Returns

t if the task could be closed, else nil.

Description

When a task is opened (located) for interprocess communication, a communication link may be established. This link must be cleaned up if it is to be re-used. There is no hard limit to the number of tasks which may be open with QNX 4 message passing, but TCP/IP exerts an operating system-dependent limit on the number of simultaneously open tasks. Tasks will automatically be closed by the garbage collector when they are no longer referenced.

Example

Gamma> task = locate_task("Task 1",nil);
#<Task:9684>
Gamma> close_task(task);
t
Gamma>
