NAME

6       mqueue.h - message queues (REALTIME)
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <mqueue.h>
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  <mqueue.h>  header  shall define the mqd_t type, which is used for
13       message queue descriptors. This is not an array type.
14
15       The <mqueue.h> header shall define the sigevent structure (as described
16       in <signal.h> ) and the mq_attr structure, which is used in getting and
17       setting the attributes of a message queue. Attributes are initially set
18       when  the  message queue is created. An mq_attr structure shall have at
19       least the following fields:
20
21
22              long    mq_flags    Message queue flags.
23              long    mq_maxmsg   Maximum number of messages.
24              long    mq_msgsize  Maximum message size.
25              long    mq_curmsgs  Number of messages currently queued.
26
27       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
28       macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

31              int      mq_close(mqd_t);
32              int      mq_getattr(mqd_t, struct mq_attr *);
33              int      mq_notify(mqd_t, const struct sigevent *);
34              mqd_t    mq_open(const char *, int, ...);
35              ssize_t  mq_receive(mqd_t, char *, size_t, unsigned *);
36              int      mq_send(mqd_t, const char *, size_t, unsigned );
37              int      mq_setattr(mqd_t, const struct mq_attr *restrict,
38                           struct mq_attr *restrict);
39
40              ssize_t  mq_timedreceive(mqd_t, char *restrict, size_t,
41                           unsigned *restrict, const struct timespec *restrict);
42              int      mq_timedsend(mqd_t, const char *, size_t, unsigned,
43                           const struct timespec *);
44
45              int      mq_unlink(const char *);
46
47       Inclusion  of the <mqueue.h> header may make visible symbols defined in
48       the headers <fcntl.h>, <signal.h>, <sys/types.h>, and <time.h>.
