Details
Use this function to retrieve the value of a global variable from a remote node.
Do not use this command to retrieve the value of a global variable from the local node. It is provided for the sole
purpose of accessing global variables on a node from a remote master node. The
localnode
prefix to the
function listing describes how remote commands are shared between nodes, rather than this command being a
localnode command.
Example
print(node[5].getglobal("test_val"))
Retrieves and outputs the value of the global variable
named
test_val
from Node 5.
