CALLING SEQUENCE:

procedure Timer_Initiate_Server (
   Stack_Size    : in     RTEMS.Unsigned32;
   Attribute_Set : in     RTEMS.Attribute;
   Result        :    out RTEMS.Status_Codes
);

DIRECTIVE STATUS CODES:

RTEMS.SUCCESSFUL - Timer Server initiated successfully
RTEMS.TOO_MANY - too many tasks created

DESCRIPTION:

This directive initiates the Timer Server task. This task is responsible for executing all timers initiated via the rtems.timer_server_fire_after or rtems.timer_server_fire_when directives.

NOTES:

This directive could cause the calling task to be preempted.

The Timer Server task is created using the rtems.task_create service and must be accounted for when configuring the system.

Even through this directive invokes the rtems.task_create and rtems.task_start directives, it should only fail due to resource allocation problems.
