INTERFACE Message;

IMPORT Event, ObjectInfo, EventStubLib;

CONST Brand = "Message";

TYPE
  T = REF RECORD
    next: T := NIL;

    ev: Event.T;
    h: EventStubLib.Handle;
    thread: INTEGER;
    objInfo: ObjectInfo.T;
  END;

 The Message structure contains all the information carried around
   by a message on a particular host.  ev is the event received from
   the Event package.  h is the handle to be used to read additional
   data out of the event.  thread is an identifier for the thread
   that initiated the call that resulted in this event, and is used to
   wake up that thread when the sequenced event is returned to that
   space.  


PROCEDURE Equal(k1, k2: T): BOOLEAN;

 Create a text version of the message for printing during debugging. 

PROCEDURE ToText(m: T): TEXT;

END Message.
