NAME

       mq_setattr - set message queue attributes (REALTIME)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <mqueue.h>

       int mq_setattr(mqd_t mqdes, const struct mq_attr *restrict mqstat,
              struct mq_attr *restrict omqstat);

DESCRIPTION

       The mq_setattr() function shall set attributes associated with the open
       message queue description referenced by the  message  queue  descriptor
       specified by mqdes.

       The  message  queue  attributes  corresponding to the following members
       defined in the mq_attr structure shall be set to the  specified  values
       upon successful completion of mq_setattr():

       mq_flags
              The  value  of  this member is the bitwise-logical OR of zero or
              more of O_NONBLOCK and any implementation-defined flags.

       The values of the mq_maxmsg, mq_msgsize, and mq_curmsgs members of  the
       mq_attr structure shall be ignored by mq_setattr().

       If  omqstat  is non-NULL, the mq_setattr() function shall store, in the
       location referenced by omqstat, the previous message  queue  attributes
       and  the  current queue status. These values shall be the same as would
       be returned by a call to mq_getattr() at that point.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, the function shall return a value  of  zero
       and  the  attributes  of  the  message queue shall have been changed as
       specified.

       Otherwise, the message queue attributes shall  be  unchanged,  and  the
       function  shall  return  a  value  of  -1 and set errno to indicate the
       error.

ERRORS

       The mq_setattr() function shall fail if:

       EBADF  The mqdes argument is not a valid message queue descriptor.
