Explanation

This service call receives a message from the mailbox specified by parameter mbxid, and stores its start address in the area specified by parameter ppk_msg.

If the message could not be received from the target mailbox (no messages were queued in the wait queue) when this service call is issued, message reception processing is not executed but "E_TMOUT" is returned.

Note 1 If no message could be received from the target mailbox (no messages were queued to the wait queue) when this service call is issued, the contents in the area specified by parameter ppk_msg become undefined.

Note 2 For details about the message packet, refer to "15.2.6 Message packet".
