The data transported for distributed objects communications is sent over the network encapsulated by NSPortMessage objects, which consist of two NSPort s (sender and receiver, not sent over the network) and a body consisting of one or more NSData or NSPort objects. (Data in the NSData must be in network byte order.)
See the NSConnection and NSPortCoder classes.
Returns the message components originally used to constitute this message.
OpenStep compatibility.
Initializes to send message described by items (which should contain only NSPort and/or NSData objects, with contents in network byte order) over aPort. If/when a reply to the message is sent, it will arrive on anotherPort.
Returns ID for message. This is not used by the distributed objects system, but may be used in custom ways by cooperating applications to sort or otherwise organize messages. Set to 0 initially.
For an outgoing message, returns the port on which a reply to this message will arrive. For an incoming message, returns the port this message arrived on.
Request that the message be sent before
when. Will block until either sends it
(returns YES
) or when
expires (returns NO
). The latter may
occur if many messages are queued up (by multiple
threads) faster than they can be sent over the
network.
For an outgoing message, returns the port the receiver will send itself through. For an incoming message, returns the port replies to the receiver should be sent through.
Sets ID for message. This is not used by the distributed objects system, but may be used in custom ways by cooperating applications to sort or otherwise organize messages.
