localnode.getglobal()

Remarks

This function will return the value of the given global variable. This function is provided

to allow code running on a remote master node to retrieve values of variables from

that node. This function should not be used to retrieve the value of a global variable on

the local node when using the local node as the master. Accessing the variable

directly is far more efficient.

NOTE This command is provided for the sole purpose of accessing variables on

this node from a remote master node. The localnode prefix to the

command is an artifact of command organization and how remote

commands are shared between nodes.
