The CHANGE_PRIORITY call
CHANGE_PRIORITY allows the issuing task to change its own priority. It cannot be
used to change the priority of another task. This command causes the issuing task
to release control, and so provide other tasks with the opportunity to run.

specifies the new priority to be assigned to the issuing task.
