# IMQClientOptions interface · @imqueue/rpc

Source: https://imqueue.org/api/rpc/latest/rpc.imqclientoptions/
Published: 2026-08-04
Author: @imqueue maintainers (https://github.com/imqueue)
Package: @imqueue/rpc 3.5.3 — generated reference, not hand-written

Options accepted by a generated IMQ client.

**Signature:**

```typescript
export interface IMQClientOptions extends IMQOptions 
```
**Extends:** IMQOptions

## Remarks

Extends the core queue options, so all transport settings are accepted as well. Note that `path`, `compile`, `write` and `timeout` affect code generation only and have no effect on an already-generated client at runtime.
