NAME
mq_unlink - remove a message queue SYNOPSIS
#include <mqueue.h> int mq_unlink(const char *name); DESCRIPTION
The mq_unlink() function removes the message queue named by the pathname name. After a successful call to mq_unlink() with name, a call to mq_open(3C) with name fails 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 is postponed until all references to the message queue have been closed. Calls to mq_open(3C) to re-create 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 VALUES
Upon successful completion, mq_unlink() returns 0; otherwise, the named message queue is not changed by this function call, the function returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error. ERRORS
The mq_unlink() function will fail if: EACCES Permission is denied to unlink the named message queue. ENAMETOOLONG The length of the name string exceeds PATH_MAX, or a pathname component is longer than NAME_MAX while _POSIX_NO_TRUNC is in effect. ENOENT The named message queue, name, does not exist. ENOSYS mq_unlink() is not supported by the system. ATTRIBUTES

NAME
mq_unlink -- remove a message queue (REALTIME) LIBRARY
POSIX Real-time Library (librt, -lrt) SYNOPSIS
#include <mqueue.h> int mq_unlink(const char *name); DESCRIPTION
The mq_unlink() function removes the message queue named by the pathname name. After a successful call to mq_unlink() with name, a call to mq_open(3) with name fails 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 will be postponed until all references to the message queue have been closed. Calls to mq_open(3) 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 VALUES
Upon successful completion, the function returns a value of zero. Otherwise, the named message queue will be unchanged by this function call, and the function returns a value of -1 and sets the global variable errno to indicate the error. ERRORS
The mq_unlink() function fails 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. SEE ALSO
