xTimerStop macro

BaseType_t xTimerStop( TimerHandle_t xTimer, TickType_t xTicksToWait ); Timer functionality is provided by a timer service/daemon task. Many of the public FreeRTOS timer API functions send commands to the timer service task through a queue called the timer command queue. The timer command queue is private to the kernel itself and is not directly accessible to application code. The length of the timer command queue is set by the configTIMER_QUEUE_LENGTH configuration constant. xTimerStop() stops a timer that was previously started using either of the The xTimerStart(), xTimerReset(), xTimerStartFromISR(), xTimerResetFromISR(), xTimerChangePeriod() or xTimerChangePeriodFromISR() API functions. Stopping a timer ensures the timer is not in the active state. The configUSE_TIMERS configuration constant must be set to 1 for xTimerStop() to be available. Example usage: See the xTimerCreate() API function example usage scenario.
