DitsGetSelfPath - Return the path to this task.
Function
Return the path to this task.
Description
Each task always maintains a path to itself, which can be used
to send messages to the task itself - which is often usefull.
This function returns this path. The buffer size for thisi path
is set during the call to DitsAppInit(3) can can be modified by
the arguments to that call.
Previously (prior to DITS Version 3.25) this was often obtained
by using DitsGetTaskName(3) to fetch the name of the task and
then using DitsGetPath(3) to fetch the patch. This function
is much simplier and more efficent.
