+<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
+<p>
+The <strong>task_info</strong> function returns an information structure
+of type <var>flavor</var>.
+<h3>NOTES</h3>
+<p>
+At any given time, a task has one default scheduling policy assigned to it (as
+returned by <strong>TASK_BASIC_INFO</strong>).  As such, only one of the scheduling flavors 
+will return valid information.
+<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
+<dl>
+<p>
+<dt> <strong>KERN_INVALID_POLICY</strong>
+<dd>
+A request was made for the default scheduling policy attributes for the 
+task but the requested policy is not the task's default policy.
