-DESCRIPTION:
-    This directive creates a task which resides on the local node.  It
-    allocates and initializes a TCB, a stack, and an optional floating point
-    context area.  The mode parameter contains values which sets the task's
-    initial execution mode.  The ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT`` attribute should be
-    specified if the created task is to use a numeric coprocessor.  For
-    performance reasons, it is recommended that tasks not using the numeric
-    coprocessor should specify the ``RTEMS_NO_FLOATING_POINT`` attribute.  If
-    the ``RTEMS_GLOBAL`` attribute is specified, the task can be accessed from
-    remote nodes.  The task id, returned in id, is used in other task related
-    directives to access the task.  When created, a task is placed in the
-    dormant state and can only be made ready to execute using the directive
-    ``rtems_task_start``.
-
-NOTES:
-    This directive may cause the calling task to be preempted.
-
-    The scheduler of the new task is the scheduler of the executing task at
-    some point during the task creation.  The specified task priority must be
-    valid for the selected scheduler.
-
-    The task processor affinity is initialized to the set of online processors.
-
-    If the requested stack size is less than the configured minimum stack size,
-    then RTEMS will use the configured minimum as the stack size for this task.
-    In addition to being able to specify the task stack size as a integer,
-    there are two constants which may be specified:
-
-    ``RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE``
-      The minimum stack size *RECOMMENDED* for use on this processor.  This
-      value is selected by the RTEMS developers conservatively to minimize the
-      risk of blown stacks for most user applications.  Using this constant
-      when specifying the task stack size, indicates that the stack size will
-      be at least ``RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE`` bytes in size.  If the user
-      configured minimum stack size is larger than the recommended minimum,
-      then it will be used.
-
-    ``RTEMS_CONFIGURED_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE``
-      Indicates this task is to be created with a stack size of the minimum
-      stack size that was configured by the application.  If not explicitly
-      configured by the application, the default configured minimum stack size
-      is the processor dependent value ``RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE``.  Since
-      this uses the configured minimum stack size value, you may get a stack
-      size that is smaller or larger than the recommended minimum.  This can be
-      used to provide large stacks for all tasks on complex applications or
-      small stacks on applications that are trying to conserve memory.
-
-    Application developers should consider the stack usage of the device
-    drivers when calculating the stack size required for tasks which utilize
-    the driver.
-
-    The following task attribute constants are defined by RTEMS:
-
-    .. list-table::
-      :class: rtems-table
-
-      * - ``RTEMS_NO_FLOATING_POINT``
-        - does not use coprocessor (default)
-      * - ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT``
-        - uses numeric coprocessor
-      * - ``RTEMS_LOCAL``
-        - local task (default)
-      * - ``RTEMS_GLOBAL``
-        - global task
-
-    The following task mode constants are defined by RTEMS:
-
-    .. list-table::
-      :class: rtems-table
-
-      * - ``RTEMS_PREEMPT``
-        - enable preemption (default)
-      * - ``RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT``
-        - disable preemption
-      * - ``RTEMS_NO_TIMESLICE``
-        - disable timeslicing (default)
-      * - ``RTEMS_TIMESLICE``
-        - enable timeslicing
-      * - ``RTEMS_ASR``
-        - enable ASR processing (default)
-      * - ``RTEMS_NO_ASR``
-        - disable ASR processing
-      * - ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL(0)``
-        - enable all interrupts (default)
-      * - ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL(n)``
-        - execute at interrupt level ``n``
-
-    The interrupt level portion of the task execution mode supports a maximum
-    of 256 interrupt levels.  These levels are mapped onto the interrupt
-    levels actually supported by the target processor in a processor dependent
-    fashion.
-
-    Tasks should not be made global unless remote tasks must interact with
-    them.  This avoids the system overhead incurred by the creation of a
-    global task.  When a global task is created, the task's name and id must
-    be transmitted to every node in the system for insertion in the local copy
-    of the global object table.
-
-    The total number of global objects, including tasks, is limited by the
-    maximum_global_objects field in the Configuration Table.

+    This parameter is the object name of the task.
+
+``initial_priority``
+    This parameter is the initial task priority.
+
+``stack_size``
+    This parameter is the task stack size in bytes.
+
+``initial_modes``
+    This parameter is the initial mode set of the task.
+
+``attribute_set``
+    This parameter is the attribute set of the task.
+
+``id``
+    This parameter is the pointer to an object identifier variable.  When the
+    directive call is successful, the identifier of the created task will be
+    stored in this variable.
+
+.. rubric:: DESCRIPTION:
+
+This directive creates a task which resides on the local node.  The task has
+the user-defined object name specified in ``name``.  The assigned object
+identifier is returned in ``id``.  This identifier is used to access the task
+with other task related directives.
+
+The **initial priority** of the task is specified in ``initial_priority``. The
+scheduler of the created task is the scheduler of the calling task at some
+point during the task creation.  The initial task priority specified in
+``initial_priority`` shall be valid for this scheduler.
+
+The **stack size** of the task is specified in ``stack_size``.  If the
+requested stack size is less than the configured minimum stack size, then RTEMS
+will use the configured minimum as the stack size for this task.  The
+configured minimum stack size is defined by the
+:ref:`CONFIGURE_MINIMUM_TASK_STACK_SIZE` application configuration option.  In
+addition to being able to specify the task stack size as a integer, there are
+two constants which may be specified:
+
+* The :c:macro:`RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE` constant can be specified to use the
+  **recommended minimum stack size** for the target processor.  This value is
+  selected by the RTEMS maintainers conservatively to minimize the risk of
+  blown stacks for most user applications.  Using this constant when specifying
+  the task stack size, indicates that the stack size will be at least
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE` bytes in size.  If the user configured
+  minimum stack size is larger than the recommended minimum, then it will be
+  used.
+
+* The :c:macro:`RTEMS_CONFIGURED_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE` constant can be specified
+  to use the minimum stack size that was configured by the application.  If not
+  explicitly configured by the application, the default configured minimum
+  stack size is the target processor dependent value
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE`.  Since this uses the configured minimum
+  stack size value, you may get a stack size that is smaller or larger than the
+  recommended minimum.  This can be used to provide large stacks for all tasks
+  on complex applications or small stacks on applications that are trying to
+  conserve memory.
+
+The **initial mode set** specified in ``initial_modes`` is built through a
+*bitwise or* of the mode constants described below.  Not all combinations of
+modes are allowed.  Some modes are mutually exclusive.  If mutually exclusive
+modes are combined, the behaviour is undefined.  Default task modes can be
+selected by using the :c:macro:`RTEMS_DEFAULT_MODES` constant.  The task mode
+set defines
+
+* the preemption mode of the task: :c:macro:`RTEMS_PREEMPT` (default) or
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT`,
+
+* the timeslicing mode of the task: :c:macro:`RTEMS_TIMESLICE` or
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_TIMESLICE` (default),
+
+* the :term:`ASR` processing mode of the task: :c:macro:`RTEMS_ASR` (default)
+  or :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_ASR`,
+
+* the interrupt level of the task: :c:func:`RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL` with a
+  default of ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL( 0 )`` which is associated with enabled
+  interrupts.
+
+The **initial preemption mode** of the task is enabled or disabled.
+
+* An **enabled preemption** is the default and can be emphasized through the
+  use of the :c:macro:`RTEMS_PREEMPT` mode constant.
+
+* A **disabled preemption** is set by the :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT` mode
+  constant.
+
+The **initial timeslicing mode** of the task is enabled or disabled.
+
+* A **disabled timeslicing** is the default and can be emphasized through the
+  use of the :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_TIMESLICE` mode constant.
+
+* An **enabled timeslicing** is set by the :c:macro:`RTEMS_TIMESLICE` mode
+  constant.
+
+The **initial ASR processing mode** of the task is enabled or disabled.
+
+* An **enabled ASR processing** is the default and can be emphasized through
+  the use of the :c:macro:`RTEMS_ASR` mode constant.
+
+* A **disabled ASR processing** is set by the :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_ASR` mode
+  constant.
+
+The **initial interrupt level mode** of the task is defined by
+:c:func:`RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL`.
+
+* Task execution with **interrupts enabled** the default and can be emphasized
+  through the use of the :c:func:`RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL` mode macro with a
+  value of zero (0) for the parameter.  An interrupt level of zero is
+  associated with enabled interrupts on all target processors.
+
+* Task execution at a **non-zero interrupt level** can be specified by the
+  :c:func:`RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL` mode macro with a non-zero value for the
+  parameter.  The interrupt level portion of the task mode supports a maximum
+  of 256 interrupt levels.  These levels are mapped onto the interrupt levels
+  actually supported by the target processor in a processor dependent fashion.
+
+The **attribute set** specified in ``attribute_set`` is built through a
+*bitwise or* of the attribute constants described below.  Not all combinations
+of attributes are allowed.  Some attributes are mutually exclusive.  If
+mutually exclusive attributes are combined, the behaviour is undefined.
+Attributes not mentioned below are not evaluated by this directive and have no
+effect.  Default attributes can be selected by using the
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTES` constant.  The attribute set defines
+
+* the scope of the task: :c:macro:`RTEMS_LOCAL` (default) or
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_GLOBAL` and
+
+* the floating-point unit use of the task: :c:macro:`RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT` or
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_FLOATING_POINT` (default).
+
+The task has a local or global **scope** in a multiprocessing network (this
+attribute does not refer to SMP systems).  The scope is selected by the
+mutually exclusive :c:macro:`RTEMS_LOCAL` and :c:macro:`RTEMS_GLOBAL`
+attributes.
+
+* A **local scope** is the default and can be emphasized through the use of the
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_LOCAL` attribute.  A local task can be only used by the node
+  which created it.
+
+* A **global scope** is established if the :c:macro:`RTEMS_GLOBAL` attribute is
+  set.  Setting the global attribute in a single node system has no effect.the
+
+The **use of the floating-point unit** is selected by the mutually exclusive
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT` and :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_FLOATING_POINT`
+attributes.  On some target processors, the use of the floating-point unit can
+be enabled or disabled for each task.  Other target processors may have no
+hardware floating-point unit or enable the use of the floating-point unit for
+all tasks.  Consult the *RTEMS CPU Architecture Supplement* for the details.
+
+* A **disabled floating-point unit** is the default and can be emphasized
+  through use of the :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_FLOATING_POINT` attribute.  For
+  performance reasons, it is recommended that tasks not using the
+  floating-point unit should specify this attribute.
+
+* An **enabled floating-point unit** is selected by the
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT` attribute.

+
+.. rubric:: NOTES:
+
+The task processor affinity is initialized to the set of online processors.
+
+When created, a task is placed in the dormant state and can only be made ready
+to execute using the directive :ref:`InterfaceRtemsTaskStart`.
+
+Application developers should consider the stack usage of the device drivers
+when calculating the stack size required for tasks which utilize the driver.
+The task stack size shall account for an target processor dependent interrupt
+stack frame which may be placed on the stack of the interrupted task while
+servicing an interrupt.  The stack checker may be used to monitor the stack
+usage, see :ref:`CONFIGURE_STACK_CHECKER_ENABLED`.
+
+For control and maintenance of the task, RTEMS allocates a :term:`TCB` from the
+local TCB free pool and initializes it.
+
+The TCB for a global task is allocated on the local node.  Task should not be
+made global unless remote tasks must interact with the task.  This is to avoid
+the system overhead incurred by the creation of a global task.  When a global
+task is created, the task's name and identifier must be transmitted to every
+node in the system for insertion in the local copy of the global object table.
+
+.. rubric:: CONSTRAINTS:
+
+The following constraints apply to this directive:
+
+* The directive may be called from within device driver initialization context.
+
+* The directive may be called from within task context.
+
+* The directive may obtain and release the object allocator mutex.  This may

+
+* When the directive operates on a global object, the directive sends a message
+  to remote nodes.  This may preempt the calling task.
+
+* The number of tasks available to the application is configured through the

+
+This directive is intended for applications which do not want to use the RTEMS
+Workspace and instead statically allocate all operating system resources.  It
+is not recommended to use :ref:`InterfaceRtemsTaskCreate` and
+:ref:`InterfaceRtemsTaskConstruct` together in an application.  It is also not
+recommended to use :ref:`InterfaceRtemsTaskConstruct` for drivers or general
+purpose libraries.  The reason for these recommendations is that the task
+configuration needs settings which can be only given with a through knowledge
+of the application resources.
+
+An application based solely on static allocation can avoid any runtime memory
+allocators.  This can simplify the application architecture as well as any
+analysis that may be required.
+
+The stack space estimate done by <rtems/confdefs.h> assumes that all tasks are
+created by :ref:`InterfaceRtemsTaskCreate`.  The estimate can be adjusted to
+take user-provided task storage areas into account through the

-    deleted unless it is unable to execute or does not hold any RTEMS
-    resources.  If a task holds RTEMS resources, the task should be allowed to
-    deallocate its resources before deletion.  A task can be directed to
-    release its resources and delete itself by restarting it with a special

-
-    Deletion of the current task (``RTEMS_SELF``) will force RTEMS to select

-DESCRIPTION:
-    This directive manipulates the priority of the task specified by id.  An id

-    is not equal to ``RTEMS_CURRENT_PRIORITY``, the specified task's previous
-    priority is returned in old_priority.  When new_priority is
-    ``RTEMS_CURRENT_PRIORITY``, the specified task's current priority is
-    returned in old_priority.  Valid priorities range from a high of 1 to a low
-    of 255.
-
-NOTES:
-    The calling task may be preempted if its preemption mode is enabled and it
-    lowers its own priority or raises another task's priority.
-
-    In case the new priority equals the current priority of the task, then
-    nothing happens.
-
-    Setting the priority of a global task which does not reside on the local
-    node will generate a request to the remote node to change the priority of
-    the specified task.
-
-    If the task specified by id is currently holding any binary semaphores
-    which use the priority inheritance algorithm, then the task's priority
-    cannot be lowered immediately.  If the task's priority were lowered
-    immediately, then priority inversion results.  The requested lowering of
-    the task's priority will occur when the task has released all priority
-    inheritance binary semaphores.  The task's priority can be increased
-    regardless of the task's use of priority inheritance binary semaphores.

+
+``previous_mode_set``
+    This parameter is the pointer to a mode variable.  When the directive call
+    is successful, the mode of the task before any mode changes done by the
+    directive call will be stored in this variable.
+
+.. rubric:: DESCRIPTION:
+
+This directive queries and optionally manipulates the execution mode of the
+calling task.  A task's execution mode enables and disables preemption,
+timeslicing, asynchronous signal processing, as well as specifying the
+interrupt level.  To modify an execution mode, the mode class(es) to be changed
+must be specified in the ``mask`` parameter and the desired mode(s) must be
+specified in the ``mode_set`` parameter.
+
+A task can obtain its current execution mode, without modifying it, by calling
+this directive with a ``mask`` value of :c:macro:`RTEMS_CURRENT_MODE`.
+
+The **mode set** specified in ``mode_set`` is built through a *bitwise or* of
+the mode constants described below.  Not all combinations of modes are allowed.
+Some modes are mutually exclusive.  If mutually exclusive modes are combined,
+the behaviour is undefined.  Default task modes can be selected by using the
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_DEFAULT_MODES` constant.  The task mode set defines
+
+* the preemption mode of the task: :c:macro:`RTEMS_PREEMPT` (default) or
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT`,
+
+* the timeslicing mode of the task: :c:macro:`RTEMS_TIMESLICE` or
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_TIMESLICE` (default),
+
+* the :term:`ASR` processing mode of the task: :c:macro:`RTEMS_ASR` (default)
+  or :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_ASR`,
+
+* the interrupt level of the task: :c:func:`RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL` with a
+  default of ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL( 0 )`` which is associated with enabled
+  interrupts.
+
+The **mode mask** specified in ``mask`` is built through a *bitwise or* of the
+mode mask constants described below.
+
+When the :c:macro:`RTEMS_PREEMPT_MASK` is set in ``mask``, the **preemption
+mode** of the calling task is
+
+* enabled by using the :c:macro:`RTEMS_PREEMPT` mode constant in ``mode_set``
+  and
+
+* disabled by using the :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT` mode constant in
+  ``mode_set``.
+
+When the :c:macro:`RTEMS_TIMESLICE_MASK` is set in ``mask``, the **timeslicing
+mode** of the calling task is
+
+* enabled by using the :c:macro:`RTEMS_TIMESLICE` mode constant in ``mode_set``
+  and
+
+* disabled by using the :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_TIMESLICE` mode constant in
+  ``mode_set``.
+
+Enabling timeslicing has no effect if preemption is disabled.  For a task to be
+timesliced, that task must have both preemption and timeslicing enabled.
+
+When the :c:macro:`RTEMS_ASR_MASK` is set in ``mask``, the **ASR processing
+mode** of the calling task is
+
+* enabled by using the :c:macro:`RTEMS_ASR` mode constant in ``mode_set`` and
+
+* disabled by using the :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_ASR` mode constant in ``mode_set``.
+
+When the :c:macro:`RTEMS_INTERRUPT_MASK` is set in ``mask``, **interrupts** of
+the calling task are
+
+* enabled by using the :c:func:`RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL` mode macro with a value
+  of zero (0) in ``mode_set`` and
+
+* disabled up to the specified level by using the
+  :c:func:`RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL` mode macro with a positive value in
+  ``mode_set``.
+
+An interrupt level of zero is associated with enabled interrupts on all target
+processors.  The interrupt level portion of the task mode supports a maximum of
+256 interrupt levels.  These levels are mapped onto the interrupt levels
+actually supported by the target processor in a processor dependent fashion.

-NOTES:
-    This function will not change the scheduler of the task.  The intersection

-    scheduler of the task must be non-empty.  It is not an error if the
-    processor affinity set contains processors that are not part of the set of
-    processors owned by the scheduler instance of the task.  A task will simply
-    not run under normal circumstances on these processors since the scheduler
-    ignores them.  Some locking protocols may temporarily use processors that
-    are not included in the processor affinity set of the task.  It is also not
-    an error if the processor affinity set contains processors that are not
-    part of the system.
-
-    In case a scheduler without support for task affinites is used for the
-    task, then the task processor affinity set must contain all online
-    processors of the system.  This prevents odd corner cases if processors are
-    added/removed at run-time to/from scheduler instances.

-DESCRIPTION:
-    This directive adds the memory location specified by the ptr argument to
-    the context of the given task.  The variable will then be private to the
-    task.  The task can access and modify the variable, but the modifications
-    will not appear to other tasks, and other tasks' modifications to that
-    variable will not affect the value seen by the task.  This is accomplished
-    by saving and restoring the variable's value each time a task switch occurs
-    to or from the calling task.  If the dtor argument is non-NULL it specifies
-    the address of a 'destructor' function which will be called when the task
-    is deleted.  The argument passed to the destructor function is the task's
-    value of the variable.
-
-NOTES:
-    Task variables increase the context switch time to and from the tasks that
-    own them so it is desirable to minimize the number of task variables.  One
-    efficient method is to have a single task variable that is a pointer to a
-    dynamically allocated structure containing the task's private 'global'
-    data.  In this case the destructor function could be 'free'.
-
-    Per-task variables are disabled in SMP configurations and this service is
-    not available.

+lowering of the task's priority will occur when the task has released all
