NAME
mq_setattr
--- set message queue attributes
(
REALTIME)
SYNOPSIS
#include <mqueue.h>
int mq_setattr(mqd_t mqdes, const struct mq_attr *restrict mqstat,
struct mq_attr *restrict omqstat);
DESCRIPTION
The
mq_setattr()
function shall set attributes associated with the open message queue
description referenced by the message queue descriptor specified by
mqdes.
The message queue attributes corresponding to the following members
defined in the
mq_attr
structure shall be set to the specified values upon successful
completion of
mq_setattr():
- mq_flags
-
The value of this member is the bitwise-logical OR of zero or more of
O_NONBLOCK and any implementation-defined flags.
The values of the
mq_maxmsg,
mq_msgsize,
and
mq_curmsgs
members of the
mq_attr
structure shall be ignored by
mq_setattr().
If
omqstat
is non-NULL, the
mq_setattr()
function shall store, in the location referenced by
omqstat,
the previous message queue attributes and the current queue status.
These values shall be the same as would be returned by a call to
mq_getattr()
at that point.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the function shall return a value of zero
and the attributes of the message queue shall have been changed as
specified.
Otherwise, the message queue attributes shall be unchanged, and the
function shall return a value of -1 and set
errno
to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The
mq_setattr()
function shall fail if:
- EBADF
-
The
mqdes
argument is not a valid message queue descriptor.
