I'm trying to name a function that runs when a character is received by the object.

For the caller, it should be named sendCharacter, so that it can call:

object->sendCharacter( character ) ;

That looks nice for the caller.. but for the receiver, it implements a method

/// Called when this object is do something
/// with a character
/// from the caller
void sendCharacter( char c ) ;

So for the recipient class, it looks like this method will actually send a character out, not receive one.

So then, I could call the function receiveCharacter

/// Called when this object is do something
/// with a character
/// from the caller
void receiveCharacter( char c ) ;

But now the caller does this:

object->receiveCharacter( character ) ;

Which just looks odd.

How can I better name this function?
