SYNOPSIS

PxMsg_t PxMsgReceive (PxMbx_t mbxid);

DESCRIPTION

PxMsgReceive receives a message object from mailbox mbxid and returns the received message handle. The task becomes the user of the received message. If there is no message in the mailbox mbxid, the PxMsgReceive waits until a message arrives.

IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

Before call

The parameter mbxid must be a valid mailbox object id. This id may be
- the calling task’s own mailbox (V)
- the result of a nameserver query (V)
- part of a message sent by another task (V)
The mailbox may be checked with the macros
- PxMsgIdIsValid() must be true.
- PxMsgIdGet() must not be _PXIllegalObjId.
- PxMsgIdError() must be PXERR_NOERROR otherwise the returned error code has to be interpreted (C).
or with a call of PxMbxCheck() (C).
The mailbox mbx must be created on the same core as the caller runs on. The creator core id can be read with the macro PxMbxCoreId and the own core id with PxGetCoreId (C).

After call

The returned value is the id of type PxMsg_t. This id may be checked with one of the following macros:
- PxMsgIdIsValid() must be true.
- PxMsgIdGet() must not be _PXIllegalObjId.
- PxMsgIdError() must be PXERR_NOERROR otherwise the returned error code has to be interpreted (C).

Best Practice

PxMsgReceive may block, if no message is available at the mailbox. If blocking calls are prohibited, PxMsgReceive_NoWait should be used instead.
