    Sendmsg Value Syntax

    Description

    sendmsg(<type>)

    A message identified by its type.

    sendmsg(<type>,<op>)

    A message identified by its type and operation.

    sendmsg(<type>,<op>,<stream>)

    A message identified by its type and operation with a stream id.

Type may be specified using message name or message id.

Op may be specified using operation name or operation id.

Stream id is an integer in the range 0..3.

Numeric values may be specified as positive integer numbers or absolute expressions.

Each message type supports specific operations:

Sendmsg arguments are validated depending on how type value is specified:

  • If message type is specified by name, arguments values must satisfy limitations detailed in the table above.

  • If message type is specified as a number, each argument must not exceed corresponding value range (see the first table).

Examples:

// numeric message code
msg = 0x10
s_sendmsg 0x12
s_sendmsg msg + 2

// sendmsg with strict arguments validation
s_sendmsg sendmsg(MSG_INTERRUPT)
s_sendmsg sendmsg(MSG_GS, GS_OP_EMIT)
s_sendmsg sendmsg(MSG_GS, 2)
s_sendmsg sendmsg(MSG_GS_DONE, GS_OP_EMIT_CUT, 1)
s_sendmsg sendmsg(MSG_SYSMSG, SYSMSG_OP_TTRACE_PC)
s_sendmsg sendmsg(MSG_GET_DOORBELL)

// sendmsg with validation of value range only
msg = 2
op = 3
stream = 1
s_sendmsg sendmsg(msg, op, stream)
s_sendmsg sendmsg(2, GS_OP_CUT)
