&ital(Port) is used to listen for connection requests from other RMR based applications.
-The value of &ital(max_msg_size) will be used when allocating zero copy send buffers
-which must be allocated, possibly, prior to the application knowing the actual size of
-a specific message.
+The &ital(max_msg_size) parameter is used to allocate receive buffers and is the
+maximum message size which the application expects to receive.
+This value is the sum of &bold(both) the maximum payload size &bold(and) the maximum
+trace data size.
+This value is also used as the default message size when allocating message buffers.
+Messages arriving which are longer than the given maximum will be dropped without
+notification to the application.
+A warning is written to standard error for the first message which is too large on
+each connection.

&ital(Flags) allows for selection of some RMr options at the time of initialisation.

+ Some underlying transport providers (e.g. SI95) enable locking to be turned off

+ locking can help make message receipt more efficient.
+ If this flag is set when the underlying transport does not support disabling

Further, timeouts were message count based and not time unit based.
Multi-threaded call support adds the ability for a user application with multiple threads

The additional support is implemented with the &ital(rmr_mt_call()) and &ital(rmr_mt_rcv())
function calls.
