msg.h

msg.h(3HEAD)                                                          Headers                                                         msg.h(3HEAD)

NAME

       msg.h, msg - message queue structures

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/msg.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The <sys/msg.h> header defines the following data types through typedef:

       msgqnum_t       used for the number of messages in the message queue

       msglen_t        used for the number of bytes allowed in the message queue

       These types are unsigned integer types that are able to store values at least as large as a type unsigned short.

       The <sys/msg.h> header defines the following constant as a message operation flag:

       MSG_NOERROR     no error if big message

       The msqid_ds structure contains the following members:

       struct ipc_perm    msg_perm      Operation permission structure.
       msgqnum_t          msg_qnum      Number of messages currently on queue.
       msglen_t           msg_qbytes    Maximum number of bytes allowed on queue.
       pid_t              msg_lspid     Process ID of last msgsnd(2).
       pid_t              msg_lrpid     Process ID of last msgrcv(2).
       time_t             msg_stime     Time of last msgsnd().
       time_t             msg_rtime     Time of last msgrcv().
       time_t             msg_ctime     Time of last change.

       The pid_t, time_t, key_t, size_t, and ssize_t types are defined as described in <sys/types.h>. See types(3HEAD).
