[docs]def rmr_rcvall_msgs(mrc, pass_filter=None, timeout=0):
"""
Assembles an array of all messages which can be received without blocking
(but see the timeout parameter). Effectively drains the message queue if
RMR is started in mt-call mode, or draining any waiting TCP buffers. If
the pass_filter parameter is supplied, it is treated as one or more
message types to accept (pass through). Using the default, an empty list,
results in capturing all messages. If the timeout parameter is supplied
and is not zero, this call may block up to that number of milliseconds
waiting for a message to arrive. Using the default, zero, results in
non-blocking no-wait behavior.
Parameters
----------
mrc: ctypes c_void_p
Pointer to the RMR context
pass_filter: list (optional)
The message type(s) to capture.
timeout: int (optional)
The number of milliseconds to wait for a message to arrive.
Returns
-------
List of message summaries (dict), one for each message received; may be empty.

timeout = 0 # reset so subsequent calls do not wait

[docs]def rmr_rcvall_msgs_raw(mrc, pass_filter=None, timeout=0):
"""
Same as rmr_rcvall_msgs, but answers tuples with the raw sbuf.
Useful if return-to-sender (rts) functions are required.
Parameters
----------
mrc: ctypes c_void_p
Pointer to the RMR context
pass_filter: list (optional)
The message type(s) to capture.
timeout: int (optional)
The number of milliseconds to wait for a message to arrive.
Returns
-------
list of tuple:
List of tuples [(S, sbuf),...] where S is a message summary (dict), and sbuf is the raw message; may be empty.
The caller MUST call rmr.rmr_free_msg(sbuf) when finished with each sbuf to prevent memory leaks!
