* Name: getppid
*
* Description:
* Get the parent task ID of the currently executing task.
*
* Input parameters:
* None
*
* Returned Value:
* Normally when called from user applications, getppid() will return the
* parent task ID of the currently executing task, that is, the task at the
* head of the ready-to-run list. There is no specification for any errors
* returned from getppid().
*
* getppid(), however, may be called from within the OS in some cases.
* There are certain situations during context switching when the OS data
* structures are in flux and where the current task at the head of the
* ready-to-run task list is not actually running. In that case,
* getppid() will return the error: -ESRCH
*

* empty! In this case, of course, the CPU0 start-up/IDLE thread with
* pid == 0 must be running, and
