What is the difference between a frame and an envelope in the context of rabbitmq-c. The examples seem to use them interchangeably, and its not clear what the difference is.

A frame (or amqp_frame_t) is an AMQP protocol level construct. It represents a unit of transmission over the network can contain a number of different payloads.
An envelope (amqp_envelope_t) is a complete received message. An envelope is usually constructed from 3 or more frames. (One method, one header, and one or more body frames).

Good to know, thanks. So i noticed in the example code that if the message doesn't come up with a thumbs up you can do a amqp_simple_wait_frame to see the results and some status. Is that a separate thing? If the message comes fine, does that frame still exist? Or is that frame a reply from the rabbitmq broker with information @alanxz – cjae Jun 12 '20 at 02:05

If `amqp_consume_message` is successful, you do not need to to use `amqp_simple_wait_frame` to get further information. – alanxz Jun 15 '20 at 06:26
