APLMT Inter-Thread Communications Interfaces
The following interfaces/APIs are used
to perform inter-thread communications.
IMailbox
The IMailbox API provides FIFO queues that are used as the
storage and delivery mechanism for ITC messages. IMailboxes store
and handle IMessages.
IMessage
The IMesage API provides methods for building, interrogating,
and handling ITC messages.
SMailbox
The SMailbox API is an alternate Mailbox/Message mechanism.
The SMailbox is simpler that the IMailbox/IMessage mechanism but not
as robust.
