+ *
+ * It takes three parameters.
+ * \param task a memory location for storing a #m_task_t. It will
+ hold a task when this function will return. Thus \a task should not
+ be equal to \c NULL and \a *task should be equal to \c NULL. If one of
+ those two condition does not hold, there will be a warning message.
+ * \param channel the channel on which the agent should be
+ listening. This value has to be >=0 and < than the maximal
+ number of channels fixed with MSG_set_channel_number().
+ * \param timeout the maximum time to wait for a task before giving
+ up. In such a case, \a task will not be modified and will still be
+ equal to \c NULL when returning.
+ * \return #MSG_FATAL if \a task is equal to \c NULL, #MSG_WARNING
+ if \a *task is not equal to \c NULL, and #MSG_OK otherwise.
