274 Appendix E Display Cluster Protocol
Information Sent to convey some general information.
Reply A Reply feedback message is sent as a direct response to a query command
(for instance, getStatus described on page 265). Use a command ID to posi-
tively associate the reply with the command.
The format of the reply parameter(s) depends on the command that caused the
reply to be sent.
Quit Sent when the application is about to quit (either due to a keyboard or other
command). This message has no parameters.
COMMAND ID TAGGING Commands may optionally be preceded by a command ID. This is any
sequence of characters enclosed in square brackets. When used, at least one
explicit reply is always sent for each command. The reply is then also tagged
with the same ID:
[23]ping
[23]Ready "2.0" "WATCHPOINT" "Windows" true
Use this feature if you want positive confirmation of commands, or to explicitly
associate a feedback message with a command.
Feedback Parameter Description
<string> The information message, as a quoted string.
[<string>] Address of originator (empty or omitted if originating from the master).
