PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       mq_close — close a message queue (REALTIME)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <mqueue.h>

       int mq_close(mqd_t mqdes);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The mq_close() function shall remove the association between the
       message queue descriptor, mqdes, and its message queue. The
       results of using this message queue descriptor after successful
       return from this mq_close(), and until the return of this message
       queue descriptor from a subsequent mq_open(), are undefined.

       If the process has successfully attached a notification request
       to the message queue via this mqdes, this attachment shall be
       removed, and the message queue is available for another process
       to attach for notification.

RETURN VALUE         top

       Upon successful completion, the mq_close() function shall return
       a value of zero; otherwise, the function shall return a value of
       -1 and set errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS         top

       The mq_close() function shall fail if:

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