otMessageQueueInit#

void otMessageQueueInit (otMessageQueue * aQueue)

Initialize the message queue.

MUST be called once and only once for a otMessageQueue instance before any other otMessageQueue functions. The behavior is undefined if other queue APIs are used with an otMessageQueue before it being initialized or if it is initialized more than once.

otMessage * otMessageQueueGetNext (otMessageQueue * aQueue, const otMessage * aMessage)

Returns a pointer to the next message in the queue by iterating forward (from head to tail).

Returns

• A pointer to the next message in the queue after aMessage or NULL if aMessage is the tail of queue. NULL is returned ifaMessageis not in the queueaQueue`.
