Feeling feisty this evening Sebastian? :D

There are no watchdogs in the RTEMS public API.

There are two types of watchdogs you see in
RTEMS systems:

+ hardware watchdogs - typically reset hardware
if you don't pet them periodically.

+ software watchdogs - internal RTEMS object
used to build public services.  You should
never use these directly.

What are you trying to do?
