<h2>15.1. Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>cdist has a simple but powerful way of allowing communication between
the initial manifest and types as well as types and types.</p>
<p>Whenever execution is passed from cdist to one of the
scripts described below, cdist generate 2 new temporary files
and exports the environment variables <strong>__messages_in</strong> and
<strong>__messages_out</strong> to point to them.</p>
<p>Before handing over the control, the content of the global message
file is copied into the file referenced by <strong>$__messages_in</strong>.</p>
<p>After cdist gained control back, the content of the file referenced
by <strong>$__messages_out</strong> is appended to the global message file.</p>
<p>This way overwriting any of the two files by accident does not
interfere with other types.</p>
<p>The order of execution is not defined unless you create dependencies
between the different objects (see <a class="reference external" href="cdist-manifest.html">cdist manifest</a>) and thus you
can only react reliably on messages by objects that you depend on.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="availability">
<h2>15.2. Availability<a class="headerlink" href="#availability" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Messaging is possible between all <strong>local</strong> scripts:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>initial manifest</li>
<li>type/manifest</li>
<li>type/gencode-local</li>
<li>type/gencode-remote</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="examples">
<h2>15.3. Examples<a class="headerlink" href="#examples" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>When you want to emit a message use:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nb">echo</span> <span class="s2">&quot;something&quot;</span> &gt;&gt; <span class="s2">&quot;</span><span class="nv">$__messages_out</span><span class="s2">&quot;</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>When you want to react on a message use:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">if</span> grep -q <span class="s2">&quot;^__your_type/object/id:something&quot;</span> <span class="s2">&quot;</span><span class="nv">$__messages_in</span><span class="s2">&quot;</span><span class="p">;</span> <span class="k">then</span>
