Arguments

Returns

t if the message was sent successfully, otherwise nil.

Description

This function sends a message via synchronous interprocess communication, but does not wait for the result. The receiving task must respond immediately, prior to actually evaluating the message that was sent. The result code can only show whether the message was sent successfully. This is a compromise between synchronous and asynchronous messaging techniques.

Example

Gamma> init_ipc("mytask","myqueue");
t	
Gamma> task = locate_task("other_task",nil);
<task id>
Gamma> isend(task,#list(do_something));
t
