Such messages are delivered to the task or thread sample port set by 30*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<strong>task_sample</strong> or <strong>thread_sample</strong>. The <strong>prof_server</strong> 31*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsfunction performs all 32*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsnecessary argument handling for this kernel message and calls the appropriate 33*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionshandling function. These functions must be supplied by the caller. 34*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3> 35*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<dl> 36*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<p> 37*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<dt> <strong>TRUE</strong> 38*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<dd> 39*1031c584SApple OSS DistributionsThe message was handled and the appropriate function was called. 40*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<p> 41*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<dt> <strong>FALSE</strong> 42*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<dd> 43*1031c584SApple OSS DistributionsThe message did not apply to the sample mechanism and no other 44*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsaction was taken. 45*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions</dl> 46*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<h3>RELATED INFORMATION</h3> 47*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<p> 48*1031c584SApple OSS DistributionsFunctions: 49*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<a href="receive_samples.html"><strong>receive_samples<strong></a>. 50
