Replication Commands

> <env> rep_process_message machid control rec

This command processes a single incoming replication message.  It is a direct translation of the rep_process_message function.  It returns either a 0 (for success), a DB error message or it throws a Tcl error with a system message.  The arguments are:

• machid is the machine ID of the machine that sent this message.
• control is a binary string containing the exact contents of the control argument to the sendproc function that was passed this message on another site.
• rec is a binary string containing the exact contents of the rec argument to the sendproc function that was passed this message on another site.

This command causes a replication election.  It is a direct translation of the rep_elect function.  Its arguments, all integers, correspond exactly to that C function's parameters. It will return a list containing two integers, which contain, respectively, the integer values returned in the C function's midp and selfp parameters.
