FreeRTOS Software Timer API Functions


xTimerGetTimerDaemonTaskHandle

timers.h 
TaskHandle_t xTimerGetTimerDaemonTaskHandle( void );
Returns:

pcTimerGetName

timers.h 
const char * pcTimerGetName( TimerHandle_t xTimer )

Parameters:
Returns the human readable name assigned to a timer when the timer was created.
xTimer   The handle of the timer being queried.
Returns:
A pointer to the timer's name, which is a standard NULL terminated C string.
