                                  completion callback is called.

                                  reply has been sent or dismissed.
 @Param[in,out] p_ReplyLength   - Pointer to reply length, which has a dual role in this function:
                                  [In] equals the replyLength parameter provided in message handler
                                  registration (see XX_IpcRegisterMsgHandler() function), and
                                  [Out] should be updated by message handler to the actual reply length; if
                                  this value is set to zero, the IPC service must assume that a reply should
                                  not be sent;
                                  Note: If p_Reply is not NULL, p_ReplyLength must not be NULL as well.

 @Description   IPC mailbox registration.

                This function is used for registering an IPC message handler in the IPC service.
                This function is called by each destination endpoint to indicate that it is ready
                to handle incoming messages. The IPC service invokes the message handler upon receiving
                a message addressed to the specified destination endpoint.

 @Param[in]     addr                - The address name string associated with the destination endpoint;
                                      This address must be unique across the IPC service domain to ensure
                                      correct message routing.

 @Param[in]     replyLength         - The maximal data length (in bytes) of any reply that the specified message handler
                                      may generate; the IPC service provides the message handler with buffer

 @Function      XX_IpcInitSession

 @Description   This function is used for creating an IPC session between the source endpoint

                The actual implementation and representation of a session is left for the IPC service.
                The function returns an abstract handle to the created session. This handle shall be used
                by the source endpoint in subsequent calls to XX_IpcSendMessage().
                The IPC service assumes that before this function is called, no messages are sent from
                the specified source endpoint to the specified destination endpoint.

                The IPC service may use a connection-oriented approach or a connectionless approach (or both)
                as described below.

                @par Connection-Oriented Approach

                The IPC service may implement a session in a connection-oriented approach -  when this function is called,
                the IPC service should take the necessary steps to bring up a source-to-destination channel for messages
                and a destination-to-source channel for replies. The returned handle should represent the internal
                representation of these channels.

                @par Connectionless Approach

                The IPC service may implement a session in a connectionless approach -  when this function is called, the
                IPC service should not perform any particular steps, but it must store the pair of source and destination
                addresses in some session representation and return it as a handle. When XX_IpcSendMessage() shall be
                called, the IPC service may use this handle to provide the necessary identifiers for routing the messages
                through the connectionless medium.

 @Param[in]     destAddr      - The address name string associated with the destination endpoint.
 @Param[in]     srcAddr       - The address name string associated with the source endpoint.

 @Return        Abstract handle to the initialized session, or NULL on error.

/**************************************************************************//**
 @Function      XX_IpcSendMessage

 @Description   IPC message send routine.

                This function may be used by a source endpoint to send an IPC message to a destination
                endpoint. The source endpoint cannot send a message to the destination endpoint without
                first initiating a session with that destination endpoint via XX_IpcInitSession() routine.

                The source endpoint must provide the buffer pointer and length of the outgoing message.
                Optionally, it may also provide a buffer for an expected reply. In the latter case, the
                transaction is not considered complete by the IPC service until the reply has been received.
                If the source endpoint does not provide a reply buffer, the transaction is considered
                complete after the message has been sent. The source endpoint must keep the message (and
                optional reply) buffers valid until the transaction is complete.

                @par Non-blocking mode

                The source endpoint may request a non-blocking send by providing a non-NULL pointer to a message
                completion callback function (f_Completion). Upon completion of the IPC transaction (consisting of a
                message and an optional reply), the IPC service invokes this callback routine to return the message
                buffer to the sender and to provide the received reply, if requested.

                @par Blocking mode

                The source endpoint may request a blocking send by setting f_Completion to NULL. The function is
                expected to block until the IPC transaction is complete -  either the reply has been received or (if no reply
                was requested) the message has been sent.

 @Param[in]     h_Session       - Abstract handle to the IPC session -  the same handle as was originally
                                  returned by the XX_IpcInitSession() function.
 @Param[in]     p_Msg           - Pointer to message buffer to send.
 @Param[in]     msgLength       - Length (in bytes) of actual data in the message buffer.
 @Param[in]     p_Reply         - Pointer to reply buffer -  if this buffer is not NULL, the IPC service
                                  fills this buffer with the received reply data;
                                  In blocking mode, the reply data must be valid when the function returns;
                                  In non-blocking mode, the reply data is valid when f_Completion is called;
                                  If this pointer is NULL, no reply is expected.
 @Param[in,out] p_ReplyLength   - Pointer to reply length, which has a dual role in this function:
                                  [In] specifies the maximal length (in bytes) of the reply buffer pointed by
                                  p_Reply, and
                                  [Out] in non-blocking mode this value is updated by the IPC service to the
                                  actual reply length (in bytes).
 @Param[in]     f_Completion    - Pointer to a completion callback to be used in non-blocking send mode;
                                  The completion callback is invoked by the IPC service upon
                                  completion of the IPC transaction (consisting of a message and an optional
                                  reply);
                                  If this pointer is NULL, the function is expected to block until the IPC
                                  transaction is complete.
 @Param[in]     h_Arg           - Abstract handle to the sending module; passed unchanged to the f_Completion
                                  callback function as the first argument.

 @Return        E_OK on success; Error code otherwise.
