A wait identifier is part of a message (like the source, destination, tag and body). It is used to match a reply to the corresponding request.

The default wait ID for a message is zero (none).

pvm_getmwid returns the wait ID associated with a message buffer, or a negative error code.

pvm_setmwid assigns a new wait ID to a message buffer. It returns PvmOk unless an error occurs.

int src, tag;

pvm_recv(-1, -1);

/* ... process, compose reply message */

pvm_setmwid(pvm_getsbuf(), pvm_getmwid(pvm_getrbuf()));

pvm_bufinfo(pvm_getrbuf(), (int *)0, &tag, &src);

pvm_send(src, tag);

The following error conditions can be returned by pvm_getmwid or pvm_setmwid:
