rtapi_task_new - create a realtime task

taskcode
              A pointer to the function to be called when the task is started

       arg    An argument to be passed to the taskcode function when the task is started

       prio   A task priority value returned by rtapi_prio_xxxxuses_fp
              A flag that tells the OS whether the task uses floating point or not.

       task_id
              A task ID returned by a previous call to rtapi_task_new

rtapi_task_new creates but does not start a realtime task.  The task is created in  the  "paused"  state.
       To  start  it,  call  either  rtapi_task_start  for periodic tasks, or rtapi_task_resume for free-running
       tasks.

       rtapi_task_new - create a realtime task

       Call only from within init/cleanup code, not from realtime tasks.

       On success, returns a positive integer task ID.  This ID is used for all subsequent calls  that  need  to
       act on the task.  On failure, returns an RTAPI status code.
