NAME
       putnextctl1 - send a control message with a one-byte parameter to a queue

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/stream.h>

       int putnextctl1(queue_t *q, int type, int p);

INTERFACE LEVEL
       Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).

PARAMETERS
       q	Queue to which the message is to be sent.

       type	Type of message.

       p	One-byte parameter.

DESCRIPTION
       putnextctl1(),  like  putctl1(9F), tests the type argument to make sure a data type has not been specified, and attempts to allocate a mes-
       sage block. The	p parameter can be used, for example, to specify how long the delay will be when an  M_DELAY message is being  sent.  put-
       nextctl1()  fails  if   type  is   M_DATA, M_PROTO, or  M_PCPROTO, or if a message block cannot be allocated. If successful,  putnextctl1()
       calls the  put(9E) routine of the queue pointed to by  q with the newly allocated and initialized message.

       A call to putnextctl1(q,type, p) is an atomic equivalent of putctl1(q->q_next, type, p). The STREAMS  framework	provides  whatever  mutual
       exclusion  is necessary to insure that dereferencing q through its q_next field and then invoking putctl1(9F) proceeds without interference
       from other threads.

       putnextctl1() should always be used in preference to putctl1(9F)

RETURN VALUES
       On success,  1 is returned.  0 is returned if  type is a data type, or if a message block cannot be allocated.

CONTEXT
       putnextctl1() can be called from user or interrupt context.

EXAMPLES
       See the	putnextctl(9F) function page for an example of putnextctl1().
