/**
|
|
* @brief This class manages sending and receiving of message queue messages.
|
|
*
|
|
* @details Message queues are used to pass asynchronous messages between processes.
|
|
* They work like post boxes, where all incoming messages are stored in FIFO
|
|
* order. This class creates a new receiving queue and provides methods to fetch
|
|
* received messages. Being a child of MessageQueueSender, this class also provides
|
|
* methods to send a message to a user-defined or a default destination. In addition
|
|
* it also provides a reply method to answer to the queue it received its last message
|
|
* from.
|
|
* The MessageQueue should be used as "post box" for a single owning object. So all
|
|
* message queue communication is "n-to-one".
|
|
* For creating the queue, as well as sending and receiving messages, the class makes
|
|
* use of the operating system calls provided.
