OTIdle

Idles your computer.

C INTERFACE

void OTIdle(void)

C++ INTERFACES

None. C++ applications use the C interface to this function.

DESCRIPTION

You can call the OTIdle function while you are waiting for asynchronous provider operations to complete. It is not necessary for the correct operation of Open Transport to call this function, but it provides compatibility for existing programs that use an idling function.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

You cannot call the OTIdle function at primary interrupt time. This function does not call the SystemTask, WaitNextEvent, or GetNextEvent functions.
