I took a look at cli_monitor and launchpad apps and tried to trace the function calls to fiasco.OC/L4 but I am not very experienced and didn't succeed. If anyone could give me some hints and push me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

The relevant Fiasco.OC-specific code is located in 'repos/base-foc/src/core', in particular in the 'platform_pd.cc' and
'platform_thread.cc' files. 'Platform_pd' is responsible for the creation of a Fiasco.OC task and 'Platform_thread' creates the
threads in a task.
