NAME

       mq_close - close a message queue descriptor

SYNOPSIS

       int mq_close(mqd_t mqdes);

       Link with -lrt.

DESCRIPTION

       mq_close() closes the message queue descriptor mqdes.

       If  the	calling  process  has  attached  a  notification request (see (mq_notify(3)) to this message queue via mqdes, then this request is
       removed, and another process can now attach a notification request.

RETURN VALUE

       On success mq_close() returns 0; on error, -1 is returned, with errno set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       EBADF  The message queue descriptor specified in mqdes is invalid.

NAME

     mq_close -- close a message queue (REALTIME)

LIBRARY

     POSIX Real-time Library (librt, -lrt)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <mqueue.h>

     int
     mq_close(mqd_t mqdes);

DESCRIPTION

     The mq_close() system call 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 sub-
     sequent mq_open(), are undefined.

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

RETURN VALUES

     Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
     error.

ERRORS

     The mq_close() system call will fail if:

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

SEE ALSO

     mq_open(2), mq_unlink(2)

STANDARDS

     The mq_close() system call conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2004 (``POSIX.1'').

HISTORY

     Support for POSIX message queues first appeared in FreeBSD 7.0.
