 *
 * The macro's crQUEUE_SEND_FROM_ISR() and crQUEUE_RECEIVE_FROM_ISR() are the
 * co-routine equivalent to the xQueueSendFromISR() and xQueueReceiveFromISR()
 * functions used by tasks.
 *
 * crQUEUE_SEND_FROM_ISR() and crQUEUE_RECEIVE_FROM_ISR() can only be used to
 * pass data between a co-routine and and ISR, whereas xQueueSendFromISR() and
 * xQueueReceiveFromISR() can only be used to pass data between a task and and
 * ISR.
 *
 * crQUEUE_RECEIVE_FROM_ISR can only be called from an ISR to receive data
 * from a queue that is being used from within a co-routine (a co-routine
 * posted to the queue).
 *
 * See the co-routine section of the WEB documentation for information on
 * passing data between tasks and co-routines and between ISR's and
 * co-routines.
 *
 * @param xQueue The handle to the queue on which the item is to be posted.
 *
 * @param pvBuffer A pointer to a buffer into which the received item will be
 * placed.  The size of the items the queue will hold was defined when the
 * queue was created, so this many bytes will be copied from the queue into
 * pvBuffer.
 *
 * @param pxCoRoutineWoken A co-routine may be blocked waiting for space to become
 * available on the queue.  If crQUEUE_RECEIVE_FROM_ISR causes such a
 * co-routine to unblock *pxCoRoutineWoken will get set to pdTRUE, otherwise
 * *pxCoRoutineWoken will remain unchanged.
 *
 * @return pdTRUE an item was successfully received from the queue, otherwise
 * pdFALSE.
 *
 * Example usage:
