The message is sent asynchronously; the method does not wait for a response before returning. This method usually completes quickly because it only waits for the local TCP implementation to accept the bytes into its network data buffer. However, this message could block briefly for longer messages, and/or if the network data buffer is nearly full. This method could even block indefinitely if the remote site is slow to read. </p> <p> If you want to block while waiting for a response from a remote site, use the <a class="xref" href="dbchannel_send_request.html" title="DbChannel::send_request()">DbChannel::send_request()</a> method instead of this method. </p> <p> The message sent by this method is received and handled at remote sites using a message dispatch callback, which is configured using the <a class="xref" href="repmgr_msg_dispatch.html" title="DbEnv::repmgr_msg_dispatch()">DbEnv::repmgr_msg_dispatch()</a> method. Note that the DbChannel::send_msg() method may be used within the the message dispatch callback on the remote site to send a response or acknowledgement for messages that it receives and is handling. </p> <p> This method may be used on channels opened to any destination (see the <a class="xref" href="repmgr_channel.html" title="DbEnv::repmgr_channel()">DbEnv::repmgr_channel()</a> method for a list of potential destinations). </p> <p> The <code class="methodname">DbChannel::send_msg()</code> <span> <span> method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success. </span> </span> </p> <div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <div class="titlepage"> <div> <div> <h3 class="title"><a id="idp9331144"></a>Parameters</h3> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sect3" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <div class="titlepage"> <div> <div> <h4 class="title"><a id="idp9330496"></a>msg</h4> </div> </div> </div> <p> Refers to an array of Dbt handles.
