Get the name of an instance

[Mahdy S.]

Hi experts,

I created in my simulation a simple module and then created several instances of this module with different names. My question is pretty simple (at least I hope so):
How can I in the cc code get the name of the current instance of the module. Say I have a module named DNS with 3 instances: DNS0, DNS1 and DNS2. Is there a function which returns the string "DNS1" when DNS1 is sending the message for example?

Thanks in advance!

Mahdy,

    you must retrieve the instance of your module and call "getName()"

Hi Ivo,

thanks a lot for the quick answer!

I used getName() directly and it works :)
