+# embassy-macros
+
+An [Embassy](https://embassy.dev) project.
+
+Macros for creating the main entry point and tasks that can be spawned by `embassy-executor`. 
+
+NOTE: The macros are re-exported by the `embassy-executor` crate which should be used instead of adding a direct dependency on the `embassy-macros` crate.
+
+## Minimum supported Rust version (MSRV)
+
+The `task` and `main` macros require the type alias impl trait (TAIT) nightly feature in order to compile.

+/// Declares an async task that can be run by `embassy-executor`. The optional `pool_size` parameter can be used to specify how
+/// many concurrent tasks can be spawned (default is 1) for the function.
+///
+///
+/// The following restrictions apply:
+///
+/// * The function must be declared `async`.
+/// * The function must not use generics.
+/// * The optional `pool_size` attribute must be 1 or greater.
+///
+///
+/// ## Examples
+///
+/// Declaring a task taking no arguments:
+///
+/// ``` rust
+/// #[embassy_executor::task]
+/// async fn mytask() {
+///     // Function body
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// Declaring a task with a given pool size:
+///
+/// ``` rust
+/// #[embassy_executor::task(pool_size = 4)]
+/// async fn mytask() {
+///     // Function body
+/// }
