Name
mkmsg — Creates a pipe message
Synopsis
mkmsg
Description
mkmsg
creates a new message that can
be used to send or receive data from a pipe. The message object is
stored in an environment variable. If no variable is assigned via the
=
operator, a default environment variable named
env
#
is automatically
created (#
is a growing integer number).
JXTA messages are composed of multiple
tag body parts. Each tag body is identified via a unique tag name.
The tag name is used to insert (put
) a new tag
body in a message or retrieve (get
) a tag body
from a message.
Example
JXTA>mkmsg
This creates a message object and puts it in the
env
#
environment
variable, in which #
is an integer number.
JXTA>mymsg = mkmsg
JXAT>put mymsg mytag data
JXTA>send outpipe mymsg
This creates a new message (mymsg
), stores data in
the message body tag (mytag
), and sends the
message on the output pipe (outpipe
).
