RMIF Diagrams

OPEN

An OPEN message opens a connection to the server. The server will respond to the OPEN message with an OPENED message.

ADDC

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.

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.)

SET

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.
