mqueue.h — message queues (REALTIME)
[MSG] #include <mqueue.h>
The <mqueue.h> header shall define the mqd_t type, which is used for message queue descriptors. This is not an array type.
The <mqueue.h> header shall define the size_t and ssize_t types as described in <sys/types.h>.
The <mqueue.h> header shall define the struct timespec structure as described in <time.h>.
The tag sigevent shall be declared as naming an incomplete structure type, the contents of which are described in the <signal.h> header.
The <mqueue.h> header shall define the mq_attr structure, which is used in getting and setting the attributes of a message queue. Attributes are initially set when the message queue is created. An mq_attr structure shall have at least the following fields:
long mq_flags Message queue flags. long mq_maxmsg Maximum number of messages. long mq_msgsize Maximum message size. long mq_curmsgs Number of messages currently queued.The <mqueue.h> header shall define O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, O_RDWR, O_CREAT, O_EXCL, and O_NONBLOCK as described in <fcntl.h>.
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
int mq_close(mqd_t); int mq_getattr(mqd_t, struct mq_attr *); int mq_notify(mqd_t, const struct sigevent *); mqd_t mq_open(const char *, int, ...); ssize_t mq_receive(mqd_t, char *, size_t, unsigned *); int mq_send(mqd_t, const char *, size_t, unsigned); int mq_setattr(mqd_t, const struct mq_attr *restrict, struct mq_attr *restrict); ssize_t mq_timedreceive(mqd_t, char *restrict, size_t, unsigned *restrict, const struct timespec *restrict); int mq_timedsend(mqd_t, const char *, size_t, unsigned, const struct timespec *); int mq_unlink(const char *);Inclusion of the <mqueue.h> header may make visible symbols defined in the headers <fcntl.h>, <signal.h>, and <time.h>.

First released in Issue 5. Included for alignment with the POSIX Realtime Extension.
The <mqueue.h> header is marked as part of the Message Passing option.
The mq_timedreceive() and mq_timedsend() functions are added for alignment with IEEE Std 1003.1d-1999.
The restrict keyword is added to the prototypes for mq_setattr() and mq_timedreceive().
Type and structure declarations are added.
Austin Group Defect 593 is applied, adding O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, O_RDWR, O_CREAT, O_EXCL, and O_NONBLOCK.
Austin Group Defect 1282 is applied, removing the requirement for <mqueue.h> to define pthread_attr_t.
