Command Message

  • Protocol Version: 3.0
  • Release Date: January 20, 2017
  • Available: 3.0 and later

Summary

The COMMAND is a message type that can be used to transfer a command string structured in XML. While STRING offers a similar functionality, COMMAND has additional fields to include command ID and name providing an easy way to reference previous messages exchanged between the two hosts during the session.

IGSIO (http://igsio.github.io/) demonstrates representative usage of the COMMAND type.
