Detailed Description

The QCopEnvelope class encapsulates and sends QCop messages.

This class is obsolete, and its direct equivalent is QtopiaIpcEnvelope. Consider using QtopiaIpcAdaptor or QtopiaServiceRequest instead of QtopiaIpcEnvelope, as they provide a better interface for sending QCop messages.

QCop messages allow applications to communicate with each other by sending messages using QCopEnvelope and receiving messages by connecting to a QCopChannel.

To send a message, use the following protocol:

    QCopEnvelope e(channelname, messagename);
    e << parameter1 << parameter2 << ...;

For messages without parameters, simply use:

    QCopEnvelope e(channelname, messagename);

where:

Note: Do not try to simplify this further as it may confuse some compilers.

To receive a message either:
