6 \brief Synchronize threads using flags.
8 Thread Flags are a more specialized version of the Event Flags. See \ref CMSIS_RTOS_EventFlags.
9 While Event Flags can be used to globally signal a number of threads, thread flags are only send to a single specific thread.
10 Every thread instance can receive thread flags without any additional allocation of a thread flags object.
12 \note Thread flag management functions cannot be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines", except
13 for \ref osThreadFlagsSet.
17 The following (incomplete) code excerpt sketches the usage principals for <b>Thread Flags</b>.
19 The behavior is the following:
20 - app_main starts executing
21 - statement A sets thread flags to 0x02 (flags = 0x02 – after set)
22 - app_main enters delay
23 - execution switches to threadX
24 - statement B waits for flag 0x01 and blocks since flag is not set
25 - execution switches to app_main
26 - statement C sets thread flags to 0x07
27 - threadX wakes-up and clears flag 0x01, thread flags = 0x06, return value set to 0x07 (before clear), note: all this happens during statement C
28 - statement C returns with flags = 0x06
29 - app_main enters delay
30 - execution switches to threadX
31 - statement B returns with flagsX = 0x07
34 #include "cmsis_os2.h"
40 void threadX (void *argument) {
44 flagsX = osThreadFlagsWait(0x0001U, osFlagsWaitAny, osWaitForever); /* B */
48 void app_main (void *argument) {
50 tid = osThreadNew(threadX, NULL, NULL);
52 flags = osThreadFlagsSet(tid, 0x0002U); /* A */
54 flags = osThreadFlagsSet(tid, 0x0005U); /* C */

65 /** \fn uint32_t osThreadFlagsSet (osThreadId_t thread_id, uint32_t flags )
66 The function \b osThreadFlagsSet sets the thread flags for a thread specified by parameter \em thread_id. It returns the
67 flags set, or an error code if highest bit is set (refer to \ref flags_error_codes). This function may
68 be used also within interrupt service routines. Threads waiting for a flag to be set will resume from \ref ThreadStates "BLOCKED" state.
70 Possible return values:
71 - the flags set, in case of success
72 - \em 'osErrorParameter', if the thread specified by \a thread_id thread_id is \em NULL
73 - \em 'osErrorParameter', if a thread specified by \a thread_id does not exist
74 - \em 'osErrorParameter', if \em flags is not in the legal range (highest bit of \em flags is set)
75 - \em 'osErrorResource', if the thread with \em thread_id is in state \em 'osRtxThreadInactive' or \em 'osRtxThreadTerminated'.
78 \note This function may be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".

99 The function \b osThreadFlagsClear clears the specified flags for the currently running thread. It returns the
100 flags before clearing, or an error code if highest bit is set (refer to \ref flags_error_codes).
102 Possible return values:
103 - the flags before clearing
104 - \em 'osError', if an unspecified error occured
105 - \em 'osErrorParameter', if flags are not in the legal range (highest bit of \em flags set)

108 - \em 'osErrorISR', if IRQ is masked

116 /** \fn uint32_t osThreadFlagsGet (void)
118 The function \b osThreadFlagsGet returns the flags currently set for the currently running thread.
119 If called without a active and currently running thread \b osThreadFlagsGet return zero.
121 Possible return values:
122 - the flags currently set
123 - \em 'osErrorISR', if IRQ is masked
125 - \em 'osErrorISR', if in IRQ mode
127 \note This function \b cannot be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".

131 /** \fn uint32_t osThreadFlagsWait (uint32_t flags, uint32_t options, uint32_t timeout)
132 The function \b osThreadFlagsWait suspends the execution of the currently \ref ThreadStates "RUNNING" thread until any or all of the thread
133 flags specified with the parameter \a flags are set. When these thread flags are already set, the function returns instantly.
134 Otherwise the thread is put into the state \ref ThreadStates "BLOCKED".
136 The parameter \em options specifies the wait condition:
138 |--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
139 |\b osFlagsWaitAny | Wait for any flag (default). |
140 |\b osFlagsWaitAll | Wait for all flags. |
141 |\b osFlagsNoClear | Do not clear flags which have been specified to wait for. |
143 If \c osFlagsNoClear is set in the options \ref osThreadFlagsClear can be used to clear flags manually.
144 Otherwise \b osThreadFlagsWait automatically clears the flags waited for.
146 The parameter \ref CMSIS_RTOS_TimeOutValue "timeout" represents a number of timer ticks and is an upper bound. The
147 exact time delay depends on the actual time elapsed since the last timer tick.
149 The function returns the flags before clearing, or an error code if highest bit is set (refer to \ref flags_error_codes).
151 Possible return values:
152 - the flags before clearing
153 - \em 'osErrorParameter', if \em flags are not in the legal range
154 - \em 'osErrorTimeout', if \em timeout > 0 and the thread is waiting for flags to be set (with options osFlagsWaitAny and osFlagsWaitAll)
155 - \em 'osErrorResource, if \em timeout == 0 and the thread is waiting for flags to be set (with options osFlagsWaitAny and osFlagsWaitAll)
156 - \em 'osErrorISR', if IRQ is masked
157 - \em 'osErrorISR', if in IRQ mode.
