202Note that slave nodes cannot change their name, and consequently, their

679 690
680Nodes understand the following messages sent to them. Many of them take 691Either sends the given message, or call the given callback, after the
681arguments called C<@reply>, which will simply be used to compose a reply 692specified number of seconds.
682message - C<$reply[0]> is the port to reply to, C<$reply[1]> the type and
683the remaining arguments are simply the message data.
684 693
685While other messages exist, they are not public and subject to change. 694This is simply a utility function that come sin handy at times.

701Simply forwards the message to the given port.

703=item eval => $string[ @reply]
704
705Evaluates the given string. If C<@reply> is given, then a message of the
706form C<@reply, $@, @evalres> is sent.

708Example: crash another node.

712=item time => @reply
713
714Replies the the current node time to C<@reply>.
715
716Example: tell the current node to send the current time to C<$myport> in a
717C<timereply> message.
