NAME
mq_setattr - set/get message queue attributes SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lrt [ library... ] #include <mqueue.h> int mq_setattr(mqd_t mqdes, const struct mq_attr *mqstat, struct mq_attr *omqstat); DESCRIPTION
The mq_setattr() function is used to set attributes associated with the open message queue description referenced by the message queue descriptor specified by mqdes. The message queue attributes corresponding to the following members defined in the mq_attr structure are set to the specified values upon successful completion of mq_setattr(): mq_flags The value of this member is either 0 or O_NONBLOCK. The values of mq_maxmsg, mq_msgsize, and mq_curmsgs are ignored by mq_setattr(). If omqstat is non-NULL, mq_setattr() stores, in the location referenced by omqstat, the previous message queue attributes and the current queue status. These values are the same as would be returned by a call to mq_getattr() at that point. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, mq_setattr() returns 0 and the attributes of the message queue will have been changed as specified. Otherwise, the message queue attributes are unchanged, and the function returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error. ERRORS
The mq_setattr() function will fail if: EBADF The mqdes argument is not a valid message queue descriptor. ENOSYS The mq_setattr() function is not supported by the system. ATTRIBUTES

Solaris 2.6 was the first release to support the Asynchronous Input and Output option. Prior to this release, this function always returned -1 and set errno to ENOSYS. SunOS 5.10 14 May 2002 mq_setattr(3RT)

NAME
mq_getattr - get message queue attributes SYNOPSIS
#include <mqueue.h> int mq_getattr(mqd_t mqdes, struct mq_attr *mqstat); DESCRIPTION
The mqdes argument specifies a message queue descriptor. The mq_getattr() function is used to get status information and attributes of the message queue and the open message queue description associated with the message queue descriptor. The results are returned in the mq_attr structure referenced by the mqstat argument. Upon return, the following members will have the values associated with the open message queue description as set when the message queue was opened and as modified by subsequent mq_setattr(3C) calls: mq_flags message queue flags The following attributes of the message queue are returned as set at message queue creation: mq_maxmsg maximum number of messages mq_msgsize maximum message size mq_curmsgs number of messages currently on the queue. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the mq_getattr() function returns 0. Otherwise, the function returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error. ERRORS
The mq_getattr() function will fail if: EBADF The mqdes argument is not a valid message queue descriptor. ENOSYS The mq_getattr() function is not supported by the system. ATTRIBUTES
