/**
* @file chmboxes.c
* @brief Mailboxes code.
*
* @addtogroup mailboxes
* @details Asynchronous messages.
*
Operation mode
* A mailbox is an asynchronous communication mechanism.
* Operations defined for mailboxes:
* - Post: Posts a message on the mailbox in FIFO order.
* - Post Ahead: Posts a message on the mailbox with urgent
* priority.
* - Fetch: A message is fetched from the mailbox and removed
* from the queue.
* - Reset: The mailbox is emptied and all the stored messages
* are lost.
* .
* A message is a variable of type msg_t that is guaranteed to have
* the same size of and be compatible with (data) pointers (anyway an
* explicit cast is needed).
* If larger messages need to be exchanged then a pointer to a
* structure can be posted in the mailbox but the posting side has
* no predefined way to know when the message has been processed. A
* possible approach is to allocate memory (from a memory pool as
* example) from the posting side and free it on the fetching side.
* Another approach is to set a "done" flag into the structure pointed
* by the message.
* @pre In order to use the mailboxes APIs the @p CH_USE_MAILBOXES option
* must be enabled in @p chconf.h.
* @{
