HANDLE NutThreadCreate ( u_char name,
void(*)(void *)  fn,
void *  arg,
size_t  stackSize 
)

Create a new thread.

If the current thread's priority is lower or equal than the default priority (64), then the current thread is stopped and the new one is started.

Parameters:
name String containing the symbolic name of the new thread, up to 8 characters long.
fn The thread's entry point, typically created by the THREAD macro.
arg Argument pointer passed to the new thread.
stackSize Number of bytes of the stack space allocated for the new thread.
Returns:
Pointer to the NUTTHREADINFO structure or 0 to indicate an error.
