mq_close - close a message queue descriptor SYNOPSIS
#include <mqueue.h> int mq_close(mqd_t mqdes); Link with -lrt. DESCRIPTION

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. ATTRIBUTES

MQ_CLOSE(2) BSD System Calls Manual MQ_CLOSE(2) 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
