Type Alias TimerHandle 

pub type TimerHandle = *const c_void;

FreeRTOS opaque handle types for OS primitives.

These handles are opaque pointers used to reference FreeRTOS objects. They should not be dereferenced directly; instead, use the safe wrappers provided by this crate (e.g., Thread, Queue, Semaphore, etc.).

Handle Types

• ThreadHandle: Handle to a FreeRTOS task/thread
• QueueHandle: Handle to a message queue for inter-thread communication
• SemaphoreHandle: Handle to a counting or binary semaphore
• MutexHandle: Handle to a recursive mutex with priority inheritance
• EventGroupHandle: Handle to an event group for multi-bit synchronization
• TimerHandle: Handle to a software timer

Safety

These are raw pointers to FreeRTOS internal structures. Always use the safe Rust wrappers instead of manipulating handles directly.

Examples

use osal_rs::os::{Thread, types::ThreadHandle};

// Typically you get handles from wrapper constructors
let thread = Thread::new("worker", 2048, 5).unwrap();
// The handle is managed internally by the Thread wrapper
