Ingress
A non-generating entry port: accepts externally created or transferred QObject instances into the network (performing the entry bookkeeping) and forwards them to the first internal receiver. Unlike a SourceStation it does not generate arrivals; it is the receiving end of a TransferStation or any external producer.
A transferred instance keeps its original creation time, so end-to-end system time across networks is preserved (and recorded at the final network's sink).
Parameters
the network this ingress feeds
where entering instances are sent
the name of the station
Properties
True if this node has any onward routing configured (a static next receiver, a station-level sender, or a class route). A non-terminal node for which this is false — and which is not a non-terminal step of a registered route — is a dangling node and fails validation.
The name of this port, unique within its StationNetwork.
Functions
Sets the receiver that processes entering instances.
The statically known receivers this node may route to. Best-effort: empty when the node has no static link or when its routing is opaque (for example, a probabilistic sender whose destinations are not introspectable).
