  This directive can be used to

  * get the pending events of the calling task, or

  * receive events.

  To *get the pending events* use the constant ${pending-events:/name} for the
  ``${.:/params[0]/name}`` parameter.  The pending events are returned to the
  calling task but the event set of the task is left unaltered.  The
  ``${.:/params[1]/name}`` and ``${.:params[2]/name}`` parameters are ignored
  in this case.  The directive returns immediately and does not block.

  To *receive events* you have to define an input event condition and some
  options.  The option set specified in ``${.:/params[1]/name}`` defines

  * if the task will wait or poll for the events, and

  * if the task wants to receive all or any of the input events.

  The option set is built through a *bitwise or* of the option constants
  described below.

  The task can *wait* or *poll* for the events.

  * Waiting for events is the default and can be emphasized through the use of
    the ${../../option/if/wait:/name} option.  The ``${.:/params[2]/name}``
    parameter defines how long the task is willing to wait.  Use
    ${../../type/if/no-timeout:/name} to wait potentially forever, otherwise set a
    timeout interval in clock ticks.

  * Not waiting for events (polling) is selected by the
    ${../../option/if/no-wait:/name} option.  If this option is defined, then the
    ``${.:/params[2]/name}`` parameter is ignored.

  The task can receive *all* or *any* of the input events specified in
  ``${.:/params[0]/name}``.

  * Receiving all input events is the default and can be emphasized through the use
    of the ${../../option/if/event-all:/name} option.

  * Receiving any of the input events is selected by the
    ${../../option/if/event-any:/name} option.

  To receive all events use the constant ${all-events:/name} for the
  ``${.:/params[0]/name}`` parameter.  This constant is identical to
  ${event-0:/name} | ... | ${event-31:/name} and should not be confused with
  the option ${../../option/if/event-all:/name}.

notes: |
  This directive shall be called by a task.  Calling this directive from
  interrupt context is undefined behaviour.

  This directive only affects the events specified in ``${.:/params[0]/name}``.
  Any pending events that do not correspond to any of the events specified in
  ``${.:/params[0]/name}`` will be left pending.

  A task can *receive all of the pending events* by calling the directive with
  a value of ${all-events:/name} for the ``${.:/params[0]/name}`` parameter and
  ${../../option/if/no-wait:/name} | ${../../option/if/event-any:/name} for the
  ``${.:/params[1]/name}`` parameter.  The pending events are returned to the
  calling task and the event set of the task is cleared.  If no events are
  pending then the ${../../status/if/unsatisfied:/name} status code will be returned.
