NAME
Task - Perl interface to Tasks
SYNOPSIS

use Sun::Solaris::Task qw(:ALL);
my $taskid = gettaskid();
DESCRIPTION

This module provides wrappers for the gettaskid(2) and settaskid(2) system calls.

"Constants"

TASK_NORMAL, TASK_FINAL.

"Functions"
settaskid($project, $flags)

The $project parameter must be a valid project ID and the $flags parameter must be TASK_NORMAL or TASK_FINAL. The parameters are passed through directly to the underlying settaskid() system call. The new task ID is returned if the call succeeds. On failure -1 is returned.

gettaskid()

This function returns the numeric task ID of the calling process, or undef if the underlying gettaskid() system call is unsuccessful.

"Class methods"

None.

"Object methods"

None.
