MQ_UNLINK(3) Linux Programmer's Manual MQ_UNLINK(3) NAME
mq_unlink - remove a message queue SYNOPSIS
#include <mqueue.h> int mq_unlink(const char *name); Link with -lrt. DESCRIPTION
mq_unlink() removes the specified message queue name. The message queue name is removed immediately. The queue itself is destroyed once any other processes that have the queue open close their descriptors referring to the queue. RETURN VALUE
On success mq_unlink() returns 0; on error, -1 is returned, with errno set to indicate the error. ERRORS
EACCES The caller does not have permission to unlink this message queue. ENAMETOOLONG name was too long. ENOENT There is no message queue with the given name. ATTRIBUTES

mq_unlink - remove a message queue (REALTIME) SYNOPSIS
#include <mqueue.h> int mq_unlink(const char *name); DESCRIPTION
The mq_unlink() function shall remove the message queue named by the pathname name. After a successful call to mq_unlink() with name, a call to mq_open() with name shall fail if the flag O_CREAT is not set in flags. If one or more processes have the message queue open when mq_unlink() is called, destruction of the message queue shall be postponed until all references to the message queue have been closed. Calls to mq_open() to recreate the message queue may fail until the message queue is actually removed. However, the mq_unlink() call need not block until all references have been closed; it may return immediately. RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the function shall return a value of zero. Otherwise, the named message queue shall be unchanged by this func- tion call, and the function shall return a value of -1 and set errno to indicate the error. ERRORS
The mq_unlink() function shall fail if: EACCES Permission is denied to unlink the named message queue. ENAMETOOLONG The length of the name argument exceeds {PATH_MAX} or a pathname component is longer than {NAME_MAX}. ENOENT The named message queue does not exist.
