Functions

If __STDC__ is defined:

   extern int msgget( key_t, int );

   extern int msgctl( int, int, struct msqid_ds * );

   extern int msgrcv( int, void *, int, long, int );

   extern int msgsnd( int, void *, int, int );

If __STDC__ is not defined:

   extern int msgget( );

   extern int msgctl( );

   extern int msgrcv( );

   extern int msgsnd( );

Structures

Message queue control structure:

   struct msqid_ds {



      struct ipc_perm   msg_perm;    /* msg_perm defined in sys/ipc.h    */

      void              *msg_first;  /* not used on MPE/iX               */

      void              *msg_last;   /* not used on MPE/iX               */

      int               msg_cbytes;  /* current # bytes on queue         */

      int               msg_qnum;    /* # of messages on queue           */

      int               msg_qbytes;  /* max # of bytes on queue          */

      pid_t             msg_lspid;   /* pid of last msgsnd               */

      pid_t             msg_lrpid;   /* pid of last msgrcv               */

      time_t            msg_stime;   /* last msgsnd time                 */

      time_t            msg_rtime;   /* last msgrcv time                 */

      time_t            msg_ctime;   /* last change time                 */



   };

Message buffer template structure:

struct msgbuf {                      /*This is a sample template only    */



      long   mtype;                  /* message type                     */

      char   mtext[1];               /* message text                     */



      };
