- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- .IR <sys/msg.h>
- header shall define the following data types through
- .BR typedef :
- .IP "\fBmsgqnum_t\fP" 14
- Used for the number of messages in the message queue.
- .IP "\fBmsglen_t\fP" 14
- Used for the number of bytes allowed in a message queue.
- .P
- These types shall be unsigned integer types that are able to store
- values at least as large as a type
- .BR "unsigned short" .
- .P
- The
- .IR <sys/msg.h>
- header shall define the following symbolic constant as a message
- operation flag:
- .IP MSG_NOERROR 14
- No error if big message.
- .P
- The
- .IR <sys/msg.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR msqid_ds
- structure, which shall include the following members:
- .sp
- .RS 4
- .nf
- struct ipc_perm msg_perm \fROperation permission structure.\fR
- msgqnum_t msg_qnum \fRNumber of messages currently on queue.\fR
- msglen_t msg_qbytes \fRMaximum number of bytes allowed on queue.\fR
- pid_t msg_lspid \fRProcess ID of last \fImsgsnd\fP\^(\|).\fR
- pid_t msg_lrpid \fRProcess ID of last \fImsgrcv\fP\^(\|).\fR
- time_t msg_stime \fRTime of last \fImsgsnd\fP\^(\|).\fR
