TaskManager_TaskNameFromHandle

(SWI &42680)

Entry
R0 Task name

Exit
R0 Pointer to task name

Use

The purpose of this call is to return the description string which the task used when it called Wimp_Initialise.

Notes

This is the string that is displayed in the Task Manager’s window. A copy of the string should be made if you wish to keep it.

If a Message_TaskInitialise has just been received by a task, then this SWI may not return a valid name for the same handle since the TaskManager itself may not have received the message yet. As the task name is supplied in the message, this should not be a problem.
