.SH NAME
mqueue.h \- message queues (\fBREALTIME\fP)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <mqueue.h> \fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fI<mqueue.h>\fP header shall define the \fBmqd_t\fP type, which
is used for message queue descriptors. This is not
an array type.
.LP
The \fI<mqueue.h>\fP header shall define the \fBsigevent\fP structure
(as described in \fI<signal.h>\fP ) and the \fBmq_attr\fP 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 \fBmq_attr\fP structure shall have at least
the following fields:
.sp
.RS
.nf

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

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

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