Writes a HALT control chunk.

writehaltchunk <stream_time> <subscriber_id>

Writehaltchunk writes a HALT control chunk to the output stream. The result is a halt chunk keyed to a specified subscriber for a given stream time.

The chunk sent to the subscriber at halt time has the subtype HALT. It prevents the streamer thread from delivering data to any subscriber until a reply is received from the specified subscriber.

This essentially provides the specified subscriber with time to process its data while no other data are arriving from the streamer thread.

• stream_time 0 to 7FFFFFFF (hex)

• subscriber_id 4-byte characters describing the subscriber type (e.g. FILM, CTRL, SNDS)

None.
