struct AMessage *pxMessage;
// Create a queue capable of containing 10 pointers to AMessage structures.
// These should be passed by pointer as they contain a lot of data.

struct AMessage *pxRxedMessage;
if( xQueue != 0 )
{
// Peek a message on the created queue. Block for 10 ticks if a
// message is not immediately available.
if( xQueuePeek( xQueue, &( pxRxedMessage ), ( TickType_t ) 10 ) )

}
Return pdTRUE if an item was successfully received from the queue, otherwise pdFALSE.
Parameters
• xQueue: The handle to the queue from which the item is to be received.
• pvBuffer: Pointer to the buffer into which the received item will be copied.
• xTicksToWait: The maximum amount of time the task should block waiting for an item to
receive should the queue be empty at the time of the call. The time is defined in tick periods so
the constant portTICK_PERIOD_MS should be used to convert to real time if this is required.
xQueuePeek() will return immediately if xTicksToWait is 0 and the queue is empty.
BaseType_t xQueuePeekFromISR(QueueHandle_t xQueue, void *const pvBuffer)
A version of xQueuePeek() that can be called from an interrupt service routine (ISR).
Receive an item from a queue without removing the item from the queue. The item is received by copy so a
buffer of adequate size must be provided. The number of bytes copied into the buffer was defined when the
queue was created.
Successfully received items remain on the queue so will be returned again by the next call, or a call to
xQueueReceive().
Return pdTRUE if an item was successfully received from the queue, otherwise pdFALSE.
Parameters
• xQueue: The handle to the queue from which the item is to be received.
• pvBuffer: Pointer to the buffer into which the received item will be copied.
