SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
A message buffer instance might contain multiple concatenated messages. Call msg:messageCode() to retrieve the tag of the current message and msg:nextMessageCode() to iterate to the next message and return its tag.
By calling msg:rewind(), you can start over processing the concatenated messages.
RETURN VALUE
msg:messageCode() and msg:nextMessageCode() return the numerical
value of the messages code or nil if there is no message.
