 mq_close(2)                                                     mq_close(2)




 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      mq_close - close a message queue descriptor

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      #include <sys/mqueue.h>

      int mq_close(mqd_t mqdes);

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The mq_close() system call removes the association between the message
      queue descriptor, mqdes, and a message queue. Use of this message
      queue descriptor by the process, after a successful return from this
      mq_close(), and until this descriptor is returned by a subsequent
      mq_open(), will result in the failure of message queue system calls,
      with errno set to [EBADF].

      If the process has a registered notification request with the message
      queue associated with this mqdes, the registration is canceled and the
      queue becomes available for another process to register a notification
      request.

      If the message queue has been unlinked and mqdes is the only existing
      open descriptor for the queue, the queue is destroyed.

      To use this function, link in the realtime library by specifying -lrt
      on the compiler or linker command line.

 RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]
      mq_close() returns the following values:

           0    Successful completion.

           -1   Failure.  errno is set to indicate the error.

 ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]
      If mq_close() fails, errno is set to one of the following values:

           [EBADF]        mqdes is not a valid message queue descriptor.

           [ENOSYS]       mq_close() is not supported by the implementation.

      mq_open(2), mq_unlink(2), mq_notify(2).
