Subconfig.Message
val valid :
?message:t ->
message_id:Message_id.t ->
unit ->
[ `Valid | `Unknown | `Outdated | `Invalid ]
valid
performs an application layer-level validity check on a message id and a message if given.
The message id (and message if any) could either be `Valid
in the current context or `Invalid
, meaning that it is/they are not valid (in the present time, in the past and in the future). The application layer could also return `Outdated
or `Unknown
if the message id is outdated or if the application doesn't care about validity. In this case, the application might omit some costly validity checks.
