[bytes, msgtag, tid, info] = pvm_bufinfo(bufid)
integer, specifying a particular message buffer identifier.
integer, size of the message in bytes (not very useful inside scilab).

integer, task ID of the source of the message.
integer, status code returned by the routine. Values less than zero indicate an error.
pvm_bufinfo returns information about the requested message
buffer. Typically it is used to determine facts about the last

especially useful when an application is able to receive any incoming
message, and the action taken depends on the source tid and the msgtag
associated with the message that comes in first.
The returned value infowill be zero if
pvm_bufinfo is successful and will be
will be < 0 if some error occurs.
