(see below).

Optionally, a 4 byte value to store at the beginning of the returned message.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBmexchange()\fR function exchanges the passed in message for another
message of the specified \fIsize\fR and \fItype\fR.
.sp
.LP
If \fImp\fR is not NULL, is of at least \fIsize\fR bytes, and has only one
reference (see \fBdupmsg\fR(9F)), \fImp\fR is converted to be of the specified
\fIsize\fR and \fItype\fR. Otherwise, a new message of the specified \fIsize\fR
and \fItype\fR is allocated. If allocation fails, and \fIwq\fR is not NULL,
\fBmerror\fR(9F) attempts to send an error to the stream head.
.sp
.LP
Finally, if \fIprimtype\fR is not -1 and \fIsize\fR is at least 4 bytes, the
first 4 bytes are assigned to be \fIprimtype\fR. This is chiefly useful for
STREAMS-based protocols such as \fBDLPI\fR and \fBTPI\fR which store the
protocol message type in the first 4 bytes of each message.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
A pointer to the requested message is returned on success. NULL is returned on
failure.
.SH CONTEXT
.sp
.LP
This function can be called from user, kernel or interrupt context.
