Additional Information

  • The Next Process system call takes the next process out of the active process queue and initiates its execution. If the queue contains no process, NitrOS-9 waits for an interrupt and then checks the queue again.
  • The process calling Next Process must already be in one of the three process queues. If it is not, it becomes unknown to the system even though the process descriptor still exists and can be displayed by the PROCS command.
