The idea is that if a part of Samba wants to do communication with another Samba process then it will do a message_register() of a dispatch function, and use message_send_pid() to send messages to that process. + The dispatch function is given the pid of the sender, and it can + use that to reply by message_send_pid(). See ping_message() for a + simple example. + This system doesn't have any inherent size limitations but is not very efficient for large messages or when messages are sent in very quick succession. |
