<mqueue.h>(P)              POSIX Programmer's Manual             <mqueue.h>(P)



NAME
       mqueue.h - message queues (REALTIME)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <mqueue.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The  <mqueue.h>  header  shall define the mqd_t type, which is used for
       message queue descriptors. This is not an array type.

       The <mqueue.h> header shall define the sigevent structure (as described
       in <signal.h> ) and the mq_attr structure, which is used in getting and
       setting the attributes of a message queue. Attributes are initially set
       when  the  message queue is created. An mq_attr structure shall have at
       least the following fields:


              long    mq_flags    Message queue flags.
              long    mq_maxmsg   Maximum number of messages.
              long    mq_msgsize  Maximum message size.
              long    mq_curmsgs  Number of messages currently queued.

       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
       macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.


              int      mq_close(mqd_t);
              int      mq_getattr(mqd_t, struct mq_attr *);
              int      mq_notify(mqd_t, const struct sigevent *);
              mqd_t    mq_open(const char *, int, ...);
              ssize_t  mq_receive(mqd_t, char *, size_t, unsigned *);
              int      mq_send(mqd_t, const char *, size_t, unsigned );
              int      mq_setattr(mqd_t, const struct mq_attr *restrict,
                           struct mq_attr *restrict);

              ssize_t  mq_timedreceive(mqd_t, char *restrict, size_t,
                           unsigned *restrict, const struct timespec *restrict);
              int      mq_timedsend(mqd_t, const char *, size_t, unsigned ,
                           const struct timespec *);

              int      mq_unlink(const char *);

       Inclusion  of the <mqueue.h> header may make visible symbols defined in
       the headers <fcntl.h>, <signal.h>, <sys/types.h>, and <time.h>.

       The following sections are informative.
