Detailed Description

Implementation of the communications layer which uses named pipes.

Pipes are created at initialization time, and are used throughout the whole simulation.

virtual void cNamedPipeCommunications::init ( ) [virtual]

Init the library.

Here we create and open the named pipes.

virtual bool cNamedPipeCommunications::receiveBlocking	(	int	filtTag,
		cCommBuffer *	buffer,
		int &	receivedTag,
		int &	sourceProcId
	)			`[virtual]`

Receives packed data, and also returns tag and source procId.

Normally returns true; false is returned if blocking was interrupted by the user.

virtual bool cNamedPipeCommunications::receiveNonblocking	(	int	filtTag,
		cCommBuffer *	buffer,
		int &	receivedTag,
		int &	sourceProcId
	)			`[virtual]`

Receives packed data, and also returns tag and source procId.

Call is non-blocking -- it returns true if something has been received, false otherwise.

virtual void cNamedPipeCommunications::shutdown ( ) [virtual]

Shutdown the communications library.

Closes and removes the named pipes.
