NAME
    DeleteTask -- delete a task created with createtask()

SYNOPSIS
    DeleteTask(task)

    VOID DeleteTask(struct task *);

FUNCTION
    This function simply calls exec.library/remtask(), deleting a task
    from the Exec task lists and automatically freeing any stack and
    structure memory allocated for it by createtask().

    Before deleting a task, you must first make sure that the task is
    not currently executing any system code which might try to signal
    the task after it is gone.

    This can be accomplished by stopping all sources that might reference
    the doomed task, then causing the subtask to execute a Wait(0L).
    Another option is to have the task call deletetask()/remtask() on
    itself.

INPUTS
    task - task to remove from the system

NOTE
    This function simply calls exec.library/remtask(), so you can call
    remtask() directly instead of calling this function.

SEE ALSO
    createtask(), exec.library/remtask()
