Thanks for your answer.

I am using NRF-52840dk example that runs CoAP and CLI (command line) with OpenThread. I saw there is just one function that creates a task "k_thread_create". How can I see other tasks if they exist.

For example; is there a task for CLI?

There are lots of files so I am confused 🙂

There is no directory of file created with that name. This name stays inside the Kernel thread handling mechanism. Are you expecting a function/call/file/directory in your project with that name?

The thread itself is coap_receive which is still in the same file nrf\subsys\net\lib\coap_utils\coap_utils.c

My question is that what is the directory or name of file (has .c extension) which includes the created task ?

[quote user=""]Unfortunately I couldn't find the task with name "CoAP-sock-recv". Where is the created task? There are lots of file left side of IDE and I am confused:)[/quote]

I am a bit confused with your question. Where are you expecting to see the thread names? Do you have an task/thread viewer for debugging or do you want to query the thread name in the code?

The task is normally accessed with thread handle which in your case seems to be receive_thread_data. You can use k_thread_name_get to check that the name is set correctly to the thread handle you provided
