Default value
Function Yes
Usage
value = dataqueue.next()
value = dataqueue.next(timeout)
value
The next entry in the data queue
timeout
The number of seconds to wait for data in the queue
Details
If the data queue is empty, the function waits up to the
timeout
value.
If data is not available in the data queue before the
timeout
expires, the return value is
nil
.
The entries in the data queue are removed in first-in, first-out (FIFO) order.
If the value is a table, a duplicate of the original 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()
for i = 1, 10 do
dataqueue.add(i)
end
print("There are " .. dataqueue.count
.. " items in the data queue")
while dataqueue.count > 0 do
x = dataqueue.next()
print(x)
end
print("There are " .. dataqueue.count
.. " items in the data queue")
