C: simpleterm_open() and simpleterm_close()...

Where to begin...

With the exception of http://learn.parallax.com/multicore-approaches/print-different-core, practically no documentation exists for these two functions. While it is nice to see a simple demonstration, this certainly does not help in complex situations.

For example, let me see a working demonstration of a secondary cog passing ownership of the terminal back to the primary cog.

I would have thought that they would be described in the SimpleIDE Help. In Simple Library Reference, simpletools.h File Reference has what looks like a full description of all the functions but simpleterm_open and simpleterm_close aren't included. It looks like they have been omitted by mistake.

Thanks for the response Leon.

Yea these functions could certainly use a little more documentation.

I was having problems with these functions in the Teacup port, so I decided to write a test program to try and pass ownership back to the primary cog, but had no luck with that endeavor.

I have attached the project.... Perhaps my logic isn't correct.

Okay.... I increased the stack size in this sample and it works.... However, there is an extra unknown character(bug).

Hopefully, someone from Parallax will notice this and add them to that function listing; assuming that is where they should be documented.
