     'sendMaster' Sends data from the child to to the master process

_U_s_a_g_e:

     sendMaster(what)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

    what: data to send to the master process. If 'what' is not a raw
          vetor, 'what' will be serialized into a raw vector. Do NOT
          send an empty raw vector - it is reserved for internal use.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Any child process (created by 'fork' directly or by 'parallel'
     indirectly) can send data to the parent (master) process. Usually
     this is used to deliver results from the parallel child processes
     to the master process.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     returns 'TRUE'

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:
