1<h2>thread_create_running</h2> 2<hr> 3<p> 4<strong>Function</strong> - Optimized creation of a running thread. 5<h3>SYNOPSIS</h3> 6<pre> 7<strong>kern_return_t thread_create_running</strong> 8 <strong>(task_t</strong> <var>parent_task</var>, 9 <strong>thread_state_flavor_t</strong> <var>flavor</var>, 10 <strong>thread_state_t</strong> <var>state</var>, 11 <strong>thread_act_t</strong> <var>child_thread</var><strong>);</strong> 12</pre> 13<h3>PARAMETERS</h3> 14<dl> 15<p> 16<dt> <var>parent_task</var> 17<dd> 18[in task send right] 19The port for the task that is to contain the new 20thread. 21<p> 22<dt> <var>flavor</var> 23<dd> 24[in scalar] 25The type of state to establish. Valid values correspond to 26supported machine architecture features. 27<p> 28<dt> <var>state</var> 29<dd> 30[pointer to in structure] 31State information for the specified thread. 32<p> 33<dt> <var>child_thread</var> 34<dd> 35[out thread send right] 36The kernel-assigned name for the new thread. 37</dl> 38<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3> 39<p> 40The <strong>thread_create_running</strong> function creates a new thread 41within <var>parent_task</var>. 42The new thread has is not suspended. Its initial state is given 43by <var>state</var>. <var>flavor</var> specifies the type of state to set. 44<p> 45The format of the state to set is machine specific; it is defined in 46\*L<mach/thread_status.h>\*O. 47<p> 48The new thread holds a send right for its thread kernel port. 49A send right for the 50thread's kernel port is also returned to the calling task or 51thread in <var>child_thread</var>. 52The new thread's exception ports are set to <strong>MACH_PORT_NULL</strong>. 53<h3>NOTES</h3> 54<p> 55This is an optimized form of the sequence: <strong>thread_create</strong>, 56<strong>thread_set_state</strong> 57and <strong>thread_resume</strong>. 58<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3> 59<p> 60Only generic errors apply. 61<h3>RELATED INFORMATION</h3> 62<p> 63Functions: 64<a href="task_create.html"><strong>task_create</strong></a>, 65<a href="task_threads.html"><strong>task_threads</strong></a>, 66<a href="thread_get_special_port.html"><strong>thread_get_special_port</strong></a>, 67<a href="thread_get_state.html"><strong>thread_get_state</strong></a>, 68<a href="thread_resume.html"><strong>thread_resume</strong></a>, 69<a href="thread_set_special_port.html"><strong>thread_set_special_port</strong></a>, 70<a href="thread_set_state.html"><strong>thread_set_state</strong></a>, 71<a href="thread_suspend.html"><strong>thread_suspend</strong></a>, 72<a href="thread_terminate.html"><strong>thread_terminate</strong></a>, 73<a href="thread_create.html"><strong>thread_create</strong></a>. 74
