Hi blowtorch,

Thanks a lot..
I agree with you... when it is only message queue and message queue details we can manage with file...
here in this scenario as i have given the structures of mutex and condition variables too.... and i donno exactly what details of pthread_mutex_t should be stored in file while we are locking and unlocking the mutex, the same applies for condition variable...
could you pls.. clarify this to me..

FYI
typedef union
{
struct
{
int __lock;
unsigned int __count;
int __owner;
/* KIND must stay at this position in the structure to maintain
binary compatibility. */
int __kind;
unsigned int __nusers;
int __spins;
} __data;
char __size[__SIZEOF_PTHREAD_MUTEX_T];
long int __align;
} pthread_mutex_t;


thanks,
