Disposition

Disposition = "accumulate" | "complete" | "skip"

Defined in: packages/net-core/src/pending-exchange.ts:13

How a pending exchange classifies an inbound frame.

  • accumulate — the frame belongs to this exchange; keep waiting.
  • complete — the frame belongs to this exchange and ends it.
  • skip — the frame is not part of this exchange; offer it to the next candidate, or fall through to unsolicited handling.

skip is what makes uncorrelated protocols expressible. IRC interleaves PRIVMSG and PING with the numeric replies to whatever command is outstanding, and only the exchange itself knows which is which.
