Package: @imqueue/rpc 3.11.0 — generated reference, not hand-written

Call a service this process serves itself directly, rather than through the queue.

**Signature:**

```typescript
local?: boolean;
```

## Default Value

true

## Remarks

It matters only where a service in the same process was started with [IMQServiceOptions.local](https://imqueue.org/api/rpc/latest/rpc.imqserviceoptions.local/); otherwise every call goes through the queue regardless. `false` sends every call through the queue. A call made with an [IMQDelay](https://imqueue.org/api/rpc/latest/rpc.imqdelay/) always goes through the queue, which is what holds it until it is due.
