NAME

mq_getattr, mq_setattr − get/set message queue attributes

SYNOPSIS

#include <mqueue.h>

mqd_t mq_getattr(mqd_t mqdes, struct mq_attr *attr);
mqd_t mq_setattr(mqd_t
mqdes, struct mq_attr *newattr,
struct mq_attr *
oldattr);

DESCRIPTION

mq_getattr() and mq_setattr() respectively retrieve and modify attributes of the message queue referred to by the descriptor mqdes.

mq_getattr() returns an mq_attr structure in the buffer pointed by attr. This structure is defined as:

struct mq_attr {
long mq_flags; /* Flags: 0 or O_NONBLOCK */
long mq_maxmsg; /* Max. # of messages on queue */
long mq_msgsize; /* Max. message size (bytes) */
long mq_curmsgs; /* # of messages currently in queue */
};

The mq_flags field contains flags associated with the open message queue description. This field is initialised when the queue is created by mq_open(). The only flag that can appear in this field is O_NONBLOCK.

The mq_maxmsg and mq_msgsize fields are set when the message queue is created by mq_open(). The mq_maxmsg field is an upper limit on the number of messages that may be placed on the queue using mq_send(). The mq_msgsize field is an upper limit on the size of messages that may be placed on the queue. Both of these fields must have a value greater than zero. Two /proc files that place ceilings on the values for these fields are described in mq_open(3).

The mq_curmsgs field returns the number of messages currently held in the queue.

mq_setattr() sets message queue attributes using information supplied in the mq_attr structure pointed to by newattr. The only attribute that can be modified is the setting of the O_NONBLOCK flag in mq_flags. The other fields in newattr are ignored. If the oldattr field is not NULL, then the buffer that it points to is used to return an mq_attr structure that contains the same information that is returned by mq_getattr().

RETURN VALUE

On success mq_getattr() and mq_setattr() return 0; on error, −1 is returned, with errno set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

EBADF

The descriptor specified in mqdes is invalid.

EINVAL

newattr->mq_flags contained set bits other than O_NONBLOCK.
