55 * Manages a queue of strings that are waiting to be displayed. This is used to
56 * ensure mutual exclusion of console output.
58 * A task wishing to display a message will call vPrintDisplayMessage (), with a
59 * pointer to the string as the parameter. The pointer is posted onto the
60 * xPrintQueue queue.
62 * The task spawned in main. c blocks on xPrintQueue. When a message becomes
63 * available it calls pcPrintGetNextMessage () to obtain a pointer to the next
64 * string, then uses the functions defined in the portable layer FileIO. c to
65 * display the message.
67 * <b>NOTE:</b>
68 * Using console IO can disrupt real time performance - depending on the port.
69 * Standard C IO routines are not designed for real time applications. While
70 * standard IO is useful for demonstration and debugging an alternative method
71 * should be used if you actually require console IO as part of your application.
