An OPEN
message opens a connection to the server. The server will
respond to the OPEN
message with an OPENED
message.
An ADDC
will add a connection to a pipe when given the name of the
remote pipe.
An ADDC
will add a connection to an ACK
when given
Q:ACK
.
In response to a change in the server-side macro an ACK
can be
sent to a given client.
If an ACK
is sent from the server-side macro with null
as the remote connection, RMIF will broadcast the ACK
to all
connected clients that are listening for the ACK
.
(This is the most common form of ACK
.)
When a client sends a SET
to the server, the SET
is
passed to the server-side macro. The server-side macro performs any necessary
validity checks (bounds checks, etc.) and, if the value is modified, it responds
by broadcasting the change with an ACK
message.
