// post.cc // Routines to deliver incoming network messages to the correct // "address" -- a mailbox, or a holding area for incoming messages. // This module operates just like the US postal service (in other // words, it works, but it's slow, and you can't really be sure if // your mail really got through!). // // Note that once we prepend the MailHdr to the outgoing message data, // the combination (MailHdr plus data) looks like "data" to the Network // device. // // The implementation synchronizes incoming messages with threads // waiting for those messages. // // Copyright (c) 1992-1993 The Regents of the University of California. // All rights reserved.
