List of all members.

Detailed Description

A small header that precedes data sent by MotionManager between processes.

Typically this is broadcast to all processes using the MotionManager so each process has to update its own fields of MotionManager.

One tricky aspect is that with the IPC mechanisms on PLATFORM_LOCAL the originating process will get an "echo" of the message, whereas on PLATFORM_APERIOS it's set up so the sender doesn't get an echo of its own message. However, this complexity is handled by MotionManager, not here.
