module Netplex_mbox:sig..end
Netplex message boxes
This plugin implements a message box, following a simple model: Receivers wait until messages are put into the box. Senders wait until the box is free again.
This is actually an extension of Netplex_sharedvar, and the
same caveats apply.
val plugin : Netplex_types.pluginTo enable message boxes, call the controller's add_plugin method
with this object as argument. This can e.g. be done in the
post_add_hook of the processor.
