# es_event_get_task_t

A type for an event that indicates the retrieval of a task’s control port.

## Declaration

```swift
struct es_event_get_task_t
```

## Overview

Overview This event represents a process that obtains a send right to a task control port, formerly known as a “task port”. Operations that obtain a send right include task_for_pid(_:_:_:), task_identity_token_get_task_port(_:_:_:), processor_set_tasks(_:_:_:), and certain debugging and DTrace operations. note: For more information on ports and port rights, see the “Ports, Port Rights, Port Sets, and Port Namespaces” section of Mach Overview in the Kernel Programming Guide.
