mq_getattr — get
message queue attributes (REALTIME)
POSIX Real-time Library (librt, -lrt)
#include
<mqueue.h>
int
mq_getattr(mqd_t
mqdes, struct mq_attr
*mqstat);
The
mq_getattr()
system call obtains status information and attributes of the message queue
and the open message queue description associated with the message queue
descriptor.
The mqdes argument specifies a message queue descriptor.
The results are returned in the mq_attr structure referenced by the mqstat argument.
Upon return, the following members will have the
values associated with the open message queue description as set when the
message queue was opened and as modified by subsequent
mq_setattr()
calls: mq_flags.
The following attributes of the message queue will be returned as set at message queue creation: mq_maxmsg, mq_msgsize.
Upon return, the following members within the mq_attr structure referenced by the mqstat argument will be set to the current state of the message queue:
Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
The mq_getattr() system call will fail
if:
EBADF]The mq_getattr() system call conforms to
IEEE Std 1003.1-2004 (“POSIX.1”).
Support for POSIX message queues first appeared in FreeBSD 7.0.
