Priority


Type:	Two-byte integer of C type T_INT2
Default Value:	The message type priority, if set, is used. If the message type priority is unknown, then the message default is Default_Msg_Priority.

The priority property identifies the level of importance of a message. The greater the number, the higher the importance. Priority determines the order in which a message is processed after it has been received. It does not affect the order in which messages are published. When a message is sent to a process through a connection, it is placed in the connection message queue of the receiving process in priority order. For a discussion of connection message queues, see Message Queue.
