*
- * Handle queues of messages associated an action.
+ * This module implements a common system for executing
+ * a user defined action calling a hook function.
*
* A message port is an abstraction used to exchange information
* asynchronously between processes or other entities such as
* receiver wakes up, it usually invokes msg_get() to pick
* the next message from the port.
*
+ * \note
+ * When you put a message into a port, such message becomes
+ * unavailable until you retrieve it using msg_get(), eg.
+ * you must not delete it or put it into another port.
+ *
* Message ports can hold any number of pending messages,
* and receivers usually process them in FIFO order.
* Other scheduling policies are possible, but not implemented
