xEventGroupClearBits

event_groups.h

EventBits_t xEventGroupClearBits( EventGroupHandle_t xEventGroup, const EventBits_t uxBitsToClear );

Clear bits within an event group. This function cannot be called from an interrupt.

Parameters

xEventGroup	The event group in which the bits are to be cleared.
uxBitsToClear	A bitwise value that indicates the bit or bits to clear in the event group. For example, to clear bit 3 only, set uxBitsToClear to 0x08. To clear bit 3 and bit 0 set uxBitsToClear to 0x09.

Returns

The value of the event group before the specified bits were cleared.

Example usage:

#define BIT_0 ( 1 << 0 )
#define BIT_4 ( 1 << 4 )
