Typedefs
typedef struct TaskRequiresTask	TaskRequiresTask
	Dependency on another task completing.

Detailed Description

TaskRequiresTask creates a dependency on another task completing. The dependent task will not run until the required task reaches a final state (TASK_Succeeded or TASK_Failed).

If failok is false, the dependent task will fail if the required task fails. If failok is true (soft dependency), the dependent task can run even if the required task fails (useful with TASK_Soft_Requires flag).
