flush( ) Function
The flush( ) function causes the Neuron firmware to monitor the status of all
outgoing and incoming messages.
The flush_completes event becomes TRUE when all outgoing transactions have
been completed and no more incoming messages are outstanding. For
unacknowledged messages, “completed” means that the message has been fully
transmitted by the MAC layer. For acknowledged messages, “completed” means
that the completion code has been processed. In addition, all network variable
updates must be propagated before the flush can be considered complete.
Syntax
#include <control.h>
void flush (boolean
comm_ignore );
comm_ignore Specify TRUE if the Neuron firmware should ignore any
further incoming messages. Specify FALSE if the Neuron
firmware should continue to accept incoming messages.
Example
boolean nothing_to_do;
...
when (nothing_to_do)
{
// Getting ready to sleep
...
flush(TRUE);
}
