+  If the message queue name is not unique, then the message queue identifier
+  will match the first message queue with that name in the search order.
+  However, this message queue identifier is not guaranteed to correspond to the
+  desired message queue.  The message queue identifier is used with other
+  message related directives to access the message queue.
+
+  If node is ${../object/search-all-nodes:/name}, all nodes are searched with
+  the local node being searched first.  All other nodes are searched with the
+  lowest numbered node searched first.
+
+  If node is a valid node number which does not represent the local node, then
+  only the message queues exported by the designated node are searched.
+
+  This directive does not generate activity on remote nodes.  It accesses only
+  the local copy of the global object table.
