* @brief This class is the representation and data organizer
* for interprocess messages.
* @details
* To facilitate and standardize interprocess communication, this class was
* created to handle a lightweight "interprocess message protocol".
*
* It adds a header with the sender's queue id to every sent message and
* defines the maximum total message size. Specialized messages, such as
* device commanding messages, can be created by inheriting from this class
* and filling the buffer provided by getData with additional content.
*
* If larger amounts of data must be sent between processes, the data shall
* be stored in the IPC Store object and only the storage id is passed in a
* queue message.The class is used both to generate and send messages and to
* receive messages from other tasks.
