|
|
|
<p>The <strong>msgctl()</strong> function allows the caller to control
|
|
the message queue specified by the <em>msqid</em> parameter.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A message queue is controlled by setting the <em>cmd</em> parameter to one of the following values:</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
|
|
<dt><strong>IPC_RMID (0x00000000)</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd>Remove the message queue identifier <em>msqid</em> from the system and destroy
|
|
any messages on the message queue.
|
|
Any threads that are waiting in <strong>msgsnd()</strong> or <strong>msgrcv()</strong>
|
|
are woken up and <strong>msgsnd()</strong> or <strong>msgrcv()</strong> returns with a
|
|
return value of -1 and <em>errno</em> set to EIDRM.
|
|
|
|
<p>The IPC_RMID command can be run only by a thread with appropriate privileges
|
|
or one that has an effective user ID equal to the user ID of the owner or the user ID
|
|
of the creator of the message queue. The
|
|
structure pointed to by <em>*buf</em> is ignored and can be NULL.</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><strong>IPC_SET (0x00000001)</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd>Set the user ID of the owner, the group ID of the owner, the permissions, and the
|
|
maximum number of bytes for the message queue to the values in the
|
|
<samp>msg_perm.uid</samp>, <samp>msg_perm.gid</samp>,
|
|
<samp>msg_perm.mode</samp>, and <samp>msg_qbytes</samp> members of the
|
|
<samp>msqid_ds</samp> data structure pointed to by <em>*buf</em>.
|
|
|
|
<p>The IPC_SET command can be run only by a thread with appropriate privileges or one that
|
|
has an effective user ID equal to the user ID of the owner or the user ID
|
|
of the creator of the message queue.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In addition, only a thread with appropriate privileges can
|
|
increase the maximum number of bytes for the message queue.</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><strong>IPC_STAT (0x00000002)</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd>Store the current value of each member of the
|
|
<samp>msqid_ds</samp> data structure into the
|
|
structure pointed to by <em>*buf</em>. The IPC_STAT command requires
|
|
read permission to the message queue.</dd>
