+We don't remove them because the ability to run old scientific
+code is something important to us. But these functionalities are
+not actively supported anymore.
+
+To access these functions, you should define the relevant option

+\subsection MSG_ext_icomms_preliminary Preliminary declarations
+\skip include
+\until Sender function
+
+\subsection MSG_ext_icomms_Sender Sender function
+
+The sender send to a receiver an asynchronous message with the function "MSG_task_isend()". Cause this function is non-blocking
+we have to make "MSG_comm_test()" to know if the communication is finished for finally destroy it with function "MSG_comm_destroy()".
+It also available to "make MSG_comm_wait()" which make both of them.
+
+ C style arguments (argc/argv) are interpreted as:
+ - the number of tasks to distribute
+ - the computation size of each task
+ - the size of the files associated to each task
+ - a list of host that will accept those tasks.
+ - the time to sleep at the beginning of the function
+ - This time defined the process sleep time
+ if time = 0 use of MSG_comm_wait()
+ if time > 0 use of MSG_comm_test()
+
+
+\until Receiver function
+
+\subsection MSG_ext_icomms_Receiver Receiver function
+
+This function executes tasks when it receives them. As the receiving is asynchronous we have to test the communication to know
+if it is completed or not with "MSG_comm_test()" or wait for the completion "MSG_comm_wait()".
+
+ C style arguments (argc/argv) are interpreted as:
+ - the id to use for received the communication.
+ - the time to sleep at the beginning of the function
+ - This time defined the process sleep time
+ if time = 0 use of MSG_comm_wait()
+ if time > 0 use of MSG_comm_test()
+
+\until Test function
+
+\subsection MSG_ext_icomms_core Simulation core
+
+ This function is the core of the simulation and is divided only into 3 parts
+ thanks to MSG_create_environment() and MSG_launch_application().
+ -# Simulation settings : MSG_create_environment() creates a realistic
+ environment
+ -# Application deployment : create the processes on the right locations with
+ MSG_launch_application()
+ -# The simulation is run with #MSG_main()
+
+ Its arguments are:
+ - <i>platform_file</i>: the name of a file containing an valid surfxml platform description.
+ - <i>application_file</i>: the name of a file containing a valid surfxml application description
+
+\until Main function
+
+\subsection MSG_ext_icomms_Main Main function
+
+This initializes MSG, runs a simulation, and free all data-structures created by MSG.
+
+\until end_of_main
+
+\dontinclude msg/icomms/peer2.c
+
+\section MSG_ext_icomms_fct_Waitall Waitall function for sender
+
+The use of this function permit to send all messages and wait for the completion of all in one time.
+
+\skipline Sender function
+\until end_of_sender
+
+\section MSG_ext_icomms_fct_Waitany Waitany function
+
+The MSG_comm_waitany() function return the place of the first message send or receive from a xbt_dynar_t table.
+
+\subsection MSG_ext_icomms_fct_Waitany_sender From a sender
+We can use this function to wait all sent messages.
+\dontinclude msg/icomms/peer3.c
+\skipline Sender function
+\until end_of_sender
+
+\subsection MSG_ext_icomms_fct_Waitany_receiver From a receiver
+We can also wait for the arrival of all messages.
+\dontinclude msg/icomms/peer3.c
