mq_close(3C)						   Standard C Library Functions 					      mq_close(3C)

NAME
       mq_close - close a message queue

SYNOPSIS
       #include <mqueue.h>

       int mq_close(mqd_t mqdes);

DESCRIPTION
       The  mq_close()	function  removes 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(3C), are undefined.

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

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful completion, mq_close() returns 0; otherwise, the function returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error condition.

ERRORS
       The  mq_close() function will fail if:

       EBADF	  The mqdes argument is an invalid message queue descriptor.

       ENOSYS	  The mq_open() function is not supported by the system.
