NAME
       mq_close - close a message queue (REALTIME)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <mqueue.h>

       int mq_close(mqd_t mqdes);

DESCRIPTION
       The mq_close() function shall remove the association between the message queue descriptor, mqdes, and its message  queue.  The  results	of
       using  this  message  queue  descriptor after successful return from this mq_close(), and until the return of this message queue descriptor
       from a subsequent mq_open(), are undefined.

       If the process has successfully attached a notification request to the message queue via this mqdes, this attachment shall be removed,  and
       the message queue is available for another process to attach for notification.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful  completion,  the mq_close() function shall return a value of zero; otherwise, the function shall return a value of -1 and
       set errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       The mq_close() function shall fail if:

       EBADF  The mqdes argument is not a valid message queue descriptor.
