.SH DESCRIPTION

.LP
This module provides wrappers for the \fBgettaskid\fR(2) and \fBsettaskid\fR(2)
system calls.
.SS "Constants"
.sp
.LP
\fBTASK_NORMAL\fR, \fBTASK_FINAL\fR.
.SS "Functions"

.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBsettaskid($project, $flags)\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The \fB$project\fR parameter must be a valid project ID and the \fB$flags\fR
parameter must be \fBTASK_NORMAL\fR or \fBTASK_FINAL\fR. The parameters are
passed through directly to the underlying \fBsettaskid()\fR system call. The
new task ID is returned if the call succeeds. On failure \(mi1 is returned.
