  int   maxlen, 
  char*   prefix, 
  char*   name, 
  char*   domain, 
  char*   qname, 
  int   nid, 
  int   pid, 
  int   chid);

Arguments

qname: The task's queue name, or NULL.
nid: The task's node ID.
pid: The task's process ID.
chid: The task's input channel ID.

Description

This function creates a Lisp-parseable representation of the task information, suitable for transmission to nserve and associated library functions. If domain is NULL, the default domain is used. If qname is NULL, then a blank queue name is used. The nid, pid and chid parameters must all be specified.
