What is the function of ostaskcreate in ucosII?

The ostaskcreate function in ucosII is used to create a task, which involves creating a new task in the operating system and adding it to the task queue.

The prototype of the function is as follows:

INT8U OSTaskCreate(void (*function)(void *p_arg), void *p_arg, OS_STK *ptos, INT8U prio);

Explanation of Parameters:

1. function: The entry point of the task, where the code that the task needs to execute is defined.
2. p_arg: the parameter passed to the task.
3. ptos: the start address of the task stack.
