# 3.2. Task Structure Caching

Some applications find it useful to cache task structures in an easily accessible table in the local application, rather than making a query to the name server every time task information is required. This caching is called "interning" the task structure. A task structure can be "found" locally only if it has been interned.

- `IP_TaskFindName` - finds a task by its name.

- `IP_TaskFindID` - finds a task by its node, process, and channel IDs.

- `IP_TaskCopy` - copies a task structure.

- `IP_TaskIntern` - adds a task to a process's task cache.

- `IP_TaskUnintern` - removes a task from a process's task cache.
