  This directive obtains a task identifier associated with the task name
  specified in ${.:/params[0]/name}.

  A task may obtain its own identifier by specifying ${self-define:/name} for
  the name.

  The node to search is specified in ${.:/params[1]/name}.  It shall be

  * a valid node number,

  * the constant ${../../object/if/search-all-nodes:/name} to search in all nodes,

  * the constant ${../../object/if/search-local-node:/name} to search in the local
    node only, or

  * the constant ${../../object/if/search-other-nodes:/name} to search in all nodes
    except the local node.

notes: |
  If the task name is not unique, then the task identifier will match the first
  task with that name in the search order.  However, this task identifier is
  not guaranteed to correspond to the desired task.

  The objects are searched from lowest to the highest index.  If
  ${.:/params[1]/name} is ${../../object/if/search-all-nodes:/name}, all nodes
  are searched with the local node being searched first.  All other nodes are
  searched from lowest to the highest node number.

  If node is a valid node number which does not represent the local node, then
  only the tasks exported by the designated node are searched.

  This directive does not generate activity on remote nodes.  It accesses only
  the local copy of the global object table.

  The task identifier is used with other task related directives to access the
  task.
