Alias: DOJO GET MESSAGE

GET MESSAGE

The command GET MESSAGE fetch the message from the given port. Note that the message port behaves like a queue, that is, the first message that is inserted is the first that is retrieved. Therefore, if a program sends three messages in a row to the attention of the port of another, the receiving program will receive the three messages in the same order.

Obviously, if several programs do the same thing, the messages will be interspersed but, in the end, they will be in the same order.
