QNX Neutrino provides several APIs or interfaces for asynchronous messaging. You can use these interfaces in your own applications to experiment with asynchronous messaging.
| To: | Use: |
|---|---|
| Create an asynchronous message channel | asyncmsg_channel_create() |
| Destroy an asynchronous message channel | asyncmsg_channel_destroy() |
| Establish a connection between a calling process and a channel | asyncmsg_connect_attach() |
| Detach the connection | asyncmsg_connect_detach() |
| Flush all the messages | asyncmsg_flush() |
| Return the original connection attributes | asyncmsg_connect_attr() |
| Send message(s) from a buffer or an array of buffers | asyncmsg_put(), asyncmsg_putv() |
| Receive an asynchronous message from the channel | asyncmsg_get() |
| Free a message buffer | asyncmsg_free() |
| Allocate a message buffer for sending | asyncmsg_malloc() |
