Overview

The NSMachPortDelegate protocol defines the optional methods implemented by delegates of NSMachPort objects.

Tasks

Handling Mach Messages

Instance Methods

handleMachMessage:

Process an incoming Mach message.

- (void)handleMachMessage:(void *)machMessage

Parameters
machMessage

A pointer to a Mach message, cast as a pointer to void.

Discussion

The delegate should interpret this data as a pointer to a Mach message beginning with a msg_header_t structure and should handle the message appropriately.

The delegate should implement either handleMachMessage: or the NSPortDelegate Protocol protocol method handlePortMessage:.

Availability
  • Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later.
  • Available as part of an informal protocol prior to Mac OS X v10.6.
