+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+The ``rmr_wh_send_msg`` function accepts a message buffer
+from the user application and attempts to send it using the
wormhole ID provided (id). Unlike *rmr_send_msg,* this
function attempts to send the message directly to a process
at the other end of a wormhole which was created with
used for regular RMR send and reply to sender operations,
thus any buffer allocated by these means, or calls to
*rmr_rcv_msg()* can be passed to this function.

-Retries

-
+
+
+Retries
+-------
+
The send operations in RMR will retry *soft* send failures
until one of three conditions occurs:
-
-1.
-
- The message is sent without error
-
-
-2.
-
- The underlying transport reports a *hard* failure
-
-
-3.
-
- The maximum number of retry loops has been attempted
+ &item The message is sent without error
+
+ &item The underlying transport reports a *hard* failure
+
+ &item The maximum number of retry loops has been attempted
A retry loop consists of approximately 1000 send attempts
initialisation using the *rmr_set_stimeout()* function
allowing the user application to completely disable retires
(set to 0), or to increase the number of retry loops.
-
-Transport Level Blocking
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
+
+
+Transport Level Blocking
+------------------------
+
The underlying transport mechanism used to send messages is
configured in *non-blocking* mode. This means that if a
message cannot be sent immediately the transport mechanism
RMR to retry the send operation, and even then it is possible
(e.g., during connection reattempts), that a single retry
loop is not enough to guarantee a successful send.

-RETURN VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
+
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+
On success, a new message buffer, with an empty payload, is
returned for the application to use for the next send. The
state in this buffer will reflect the overall send operation
-state and should be RMR_OK.

If the state in the returned buffer is anything other than
-RMR_OK, the user application may need to attempt a

retransmission of the message, or take other action depending

In the event of extreme failure, a nil pointer is returned.

-ERRORS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
+
+
+ERRORS
+------
+
The following values may be passed back in the *state* field
of the returned message buffer.
-
-RMR_ERR_WHID
-
- The wormhole ID passed in was not associated with an open
- wormhole, or was out of range for a valid ID.
-
-RMR_ERR_NOWHOPEN
-
- No wormholes exist, further attempt to validate the ID are
- skipped.
-
-RMR_ERR_BADARG
-
- The message buffer pointer did not refer to a valid
- message.
-
-RMR_ERR_NOHDR
-
- The header in the message buffer was not valid or
- corrupted.
-
-
-The following values may be assigned to errno on failure.
-
-
-INVAL
-
- Parameter(s) passed to the function were not valid, or the
- underlying message processing environment was unable to
- interpret the message.
-
-
-ENOKEY
-
- The header information in the message buffer was invalid.
-
-
-ENXIO
-
- No known endpoint for the message could be found.
-
-
-EMSGSIZE
-
- The underlying transport refused to accept the message
- because of a size value issue (message was not attempted
- to be sent).
-
-
-EFAULT
-
- The message referenced by the message buffer is corrupt
- (nil pointer or bad internal length).
-
-
-EBADF
-
- Internal RMR error; information provided to the message
- transport environment was not valid.
-
-
-ENOTSUP
-
- Sending was not supported by the underlying message
- transport.
-
-
-EFSM
-
- The device is not in a state that can accept the message.
-
-
-EAGAIN
-
- The device is not able to accept a message for sending.
- The user application should attempt to resend.
-
-
-EINTR
-
- The operation was interrupted by delivery of a signal
- before the message was sent.
-
-
-ETIMEDOUT
-
- The underlying message environment timed out during the
- send process.
-
-
-ETERM
-
- The underlying message environment is in a shutdown state.
