+The task deletion is done in several steps. Firstly, the task is marked as
+terminating. While the task life of the terminating task is protected, it
+executes normally until it disables the task life protection or it deletes
+itself. A terminating task will eventually stop its normal execution and start
+its termination procedure. The procedure executes in the context of the
+terminating task. The task termination procedure involves the destruction of
+POSIX key values and running the task termination user extensions. Once
+complete the execution of the task is stopped and task-specific resources are
+reclaimed by the system, such as the stack memory, any allocated delay or
+timeout timers, the :term:`TCB`, and, if the task is

explicitly does not reclaim the following resources: region segments, partition
buffers, semaphores, timers, or rate monotonic periods.

When a global task is deleted, the task identifier must be transmitted to every
node in the system for deletion from the local copy of the global object table.
