You can only use the

If the timeout expires before space is available in the data queue

If the data queue is full and a
timeout
value is not specified
If the value is a table, a duplicate of the table and any subtables is made. The duplicate table does not contain
any references to the original table or to any subtables.
Example
dataqueue.clear()
dataqueue.add(10)
dataqueue.add(11, 2)
result = dataqueue.add(12, 3)
if result == false then
print("Failed to add 12 to the dataqueue")

while dataqueue.count > 0 do
print(dataqueue.next())
end
Clear the data queue.
Each line adds one item to the data queue.
