-.SH NAME
-mq_getattr, mq_setattr \- get/set message queue attributes
-.SH LIBRARY
-Real-time library
-.RI ( librt ", " \-lrt )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <mqueue.h>
-.P
-.BI "int mq_getattr(mqd_t " mqdes ", struct mq_attr *" attr );
-.BI "int mq_setattr(mqd_t " mqdes ", const struct mq_attr *restrict " newattr ,
-.BI " struct mq_attr *restrict " oldattr );

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.BR mq_getattr ()
-and
-.BR mq_setattr ()
-respectively retrieve and modify attributes of the message queue
-referred to by the message queue descriptor
-.IR mqdes .
-.P
-.BR mq_getattr ()
-returns an
-.I mq_attr
-structure in the buffer pointed by
-.IR attr .
-This structure is defined as:
-.P
-.in +4n
-.EX
-struct mq_attr {
- long mq_flags; /* Flags: 0 or O_NONBLOCK */
- long mq_maxmsg; /* Max. # of messages on queue */
- long mq_msgsize; /* Max. message size (bytes) */
- long mq_curmsgs; /* # of messages currently in queue */
-};
-.EE
-.in
-.P
-The
-.I mq_flags
-field contains flags associated with the open message queue description.
-This field is initialized when the queue is created by
-.BR mq_open (3).
-The only flag that can appear in this field is
-.BR O_NONBLOCK .
-.P
-The
-.I mq_maxmsg
-and
-.I mq_msgsize
-fields are set when the message queue is created by
-.BR mq_open (3).
-The
-.I mq_maxmsg
-field is an upper limit on the number of messages
-that may be placed on the queue using
-.BR mq_send (3).
-The
-.I mq_msgsize
-field is an upper limit on the size of messages
-that may be placed on the queue.
-Both of these fields must have a value greater than zero.
-Two
-.I /proc
-files that place ceilings on the values for these fields are described in
-.BR mq_overview (7).
-.P
-The
-.I mq_curmsgs
-field returns the number of messages currently held in the queue.
-.P
-.BR mq_setattr ()
-sets message queue attributes using information supplied in the
-.I mq_attr
-structure pointed to by
-.IR newattr .
-The only attribute that can be modified is the setting of the
-.B O_NONBLOCK
-flag in
-.IR mq_flags .
-The other fields in
-.I newattr
-are ignored.
-If the
-.I oldattr
-field is not NULL,
-then the buffer that it points to is used to return an
-.I mq_attr
-structure that contains the same information that is returned by
-.BR mq_getattr ().
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success
-.BR mq_getattr ()
-and
-.BR mq_setattr ()
-return 0; on error, \-1 is returned, with
-.I errno
-set to indicate the error.
-.SH ERRORS
-.TP
-.B EBADF
-The message queue descriptor specified in
-.I mqdes
-is invalid.
-.TP
-.B EINVAL
-.I newattr\->mq_flags
-contained set bits other than
-.BR O_NONBLOCK .

-.SH VERSIONS
-On Linux,
-.BR mq_getattr ()
-and
-.BR mq_setattr ()
-are library functions layered on top of the
-.BR mq_getsetattr (2)
-system call.
-.SH STANDARDS
-POSIX.1-2008.
-.SH HISTORY
-POSIX.1-2001.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-The program below can be used to show the default
-.I mq_maxmsg
-and
-.I mq_msgsize
-values that are assigned to a message queue that is created with a call to
-.BR mq_open (3)
-in which the
-.I attr
-argument is NULL.
-Here is an example run of the program:
-.P
-.in +4n
-.EX
-$ \fB./a.out /testq\fP
-Maximum # of messages on queue: 10
-Maximum message size: 8192
-.EE
-.in
-.P
-Since Linux 3.5, the following
-.I /proc
-files (described in
-.BR mq_overview (7))
-can be used to control the defaults:
-.P
-.in +4n
-.EX
-$ \fBuname \-sr\fP
-Linux 3.8.0
-$ \fBcat /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_default\fP
-10
-$ \fBcat /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msgsize_default\fP
