+
+ @brief Module for internal messaging between Samba daemons.
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.
+
+ @caution Dispatch functions must be able to cope with incoming
+ messages on an *odd* byte boundary.
+
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.
