- #include <mqueue.h>
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- .IR <mqueue.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR mqd_t
- type, which is used for message queue descriptors. This is not an
- array type.
- .P
- The
- .IR <mqueue.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR pthread_attr_t ,
- .BR size_t ,
- and
- .BR ssize_t
- types as described in
- .IR <sys/types.h> .
- .P
- The
- .IR <mqueue.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR "struct timespec"
- structure as described in
- .IR <time.h> .
- .P
- The tag
- .BR sigevent
- shall be declared as naming an incomplete structure type, the contents
- of which are described in the
- .IR <signal.h>
- header.
- .P
- The
- .IR <mqueue.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR 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
- .BR mq_attr
- structure shall have at least the following fields:
- .sp
- .RS 4
- .nf
- long mq_flags \fRMessage queue flags.\fP
- long mq_maxmsg \fRMaximum number of messages.\fP
- long mq_msgsize \fRMaximum message size.\fP
- long mq_curmsgs \fRNumber of messages currently queued.\fP
- .fi
- .P
- .RE
- .P
- The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined
- as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
- .sp
- .RS 4
- .nf
- 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,
