Declaration

func CFMessagePortSendRequest(_ remote: CFMessagePort!, _ msgid: Int32, _ data: CFData!, _ sendTimeout: CFTimeInterval, _ rcvTimeout: CFTimeInterval, _ replyMode: CFString!, _ returnData: UnsafeMutablePointer<Unmanaged<CFData>?>!) -> Int32

Parameters

  • remote:

    The message port to which data should be sent.

  • msgid:

    An arbitrary integer value that you can send with the message.

  • data:

    The data to send to remote.

  • sendTimeout:

    The time to wait for data to be sent.

  • rcvTimeout:

    The time to wait for a reply to be returned.

  • replyMode:

    The run loop mode in which the function should wait for a reply. If the message is a oneway (so no response is expected), then replyMode should be NULL. If replyMode is non-NULL, the function runs the run loop waiting for a reply, in that mode. replyMode can be any string name of a run loop mode, but it should be one with input sources installed. You should use the kCFRunLoopDefaultMode constant unless you have a specific reason to use a different mode.

  • returnData:

    Upon return, contains a CFData object containing the reply data. Ownership follows the 20001148 103029.
