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.
