|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In sys/ipc.h
|
|
.In sys/msg.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn msgsnd "int msqid" "const void *msgp" "size_t msgsz" "int msgflg"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn msgsnd
|
|
function sends a message to the message queue specified in
|
|
.Fa msqid .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa msgp
|
|
argument
|
|
points to a structure containing the message.
|
|
This structure should
|
|
consist of the following members:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
long mtype; /* message type */
|
|
char mtext[1]; /* body of message */
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Va mtype
|
|
is an integer greater than 0 that can be used for selecting messages (see
|
|
.Xr msgrcv 2 ) ,
|
|
.Va mtext
|
|
is an array of
|
|
.Fa msgsz
|
|
bytes.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa msgsz
|
|
can range from 0 to a system-imposed maximum,
|
|
.Dv MSGMAX .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the number of bytes already on the message queue plus
|
|
.Fa msgsz
|
|
is bigger than the maximum number of bytes on the message queue
|
|
.Pf ( Va msg_qbytes ,
|
|
see
|
|
.Xr msgctl 2 ) ,
|
|
or the number of messages on all queues system-wide is already equal to
|
|
the system limit,
|
|
.Fa msgflg
|
|
determines the action of
|
|
.Fn msgsnd .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa msgflg
|
|
has
|
|
.Dv IPC_NOWAIT
|
|
mask set in it, the call will return immediately.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa msgflg
|
|
does not have
|
|
.Dv IPC_NOWAIT
|
|
set in it, the call will block until:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
The condition which caused the call to block does no longer exist.
|
|
The message will be sent.
|
|
.It
|
|
The message queue is removed, in which case -1 will be returned, and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Er EINVAL .
|
|
.It
|
|
The caller catches a signal.
|
|
The call returns with
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
set to
|
|
.Er EINTR .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After a successful call, the data structure associated with the message
|
|
queue is updated in the following way:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va msg_cbytes
|
|
is incremented by the size of the message.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va msg_qnum
|
|
is incremented by 1.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va msg_lspid
|
|
is set to the pid of the calling process.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va msg_stime
|
|
is set to the current time.
|
|
.El
|
|

|
|
.Rv -std msgsnd
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn msgsnd

will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa msqid
|
|
argument
|
|
is not a valid message queue identifier.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The message queue was removed while
|
|
.Fn msgsnd
|
|
was waiting for a resource to become available in order to deliver the
|
|
message.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa msgsz
|
|
argument
|
|
is greater than
|
|
.Va msg_qbytes .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa mtype
|
|
argument
|
|
is not greater than 0.
|
|
.It Bq Er EACCES
|
|
The calling process does not have write access to the message queue.
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
There was no space for this message either on the queue, or in the whole
|
|
system, and
|
|
.Dv IPC_NOWAIT
|
|
was set in
|
|
.Fa msgflg .
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
The
|
