<h4><a name="tag_03_383_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>mq_getattr</i>() function shall obtain status information and attributes of the message queue and the open message queue
description associated with the message queue descriptor.</p>
<p>The <i>mqdes</i> argument specifies a message queue descriptor.</p>
<p>The results shall be returned in the <b>mq_attr</b> structure referenced by the <i>mqstat</i> argument.</p>
<p>Upon return, the following members shall have the values associated with the open message queue description as set when the
message queue was opened and as modified by subsequent <a href="../functions/mq_setattr.html"><i>mq_setattr</i>()</a> calls:
<i>mq_flags</i>.</p>
<p>The following attributes of the message queue shall be returned as set at message queue creation: <i>mq_maxmsg</i>,
<i>mq_msgsize</i>.</p>
<p>Upon return, the following members within the <b>mq_attr</b> structure referenced by the <i>mqstat</i> argument shall be set to
the current state of the message queue:</p>
<dl compact>
<dt><i>mq_curmsgs</i></dt>
<dd>The number of messages currently on the queue.</dd>
</dl>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_383_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>Upon successful completion, the <i>mq_getattr</i>() function shall return zero. Otherwise, the function shall return -1 and set
<i>errno</i> to indicate the error.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_383_05"></a>ERRORS</h4>
<blockquote>

<h4><a name="tag_03_383_11"></a>CHANGE HISTORY</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>First released in Issue 5. Included for alignment with the POSIX Realtime Extension.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_383_12"></a>Issue 6</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>mq_getattr</i>() function is marked as part of the Message Passing option.</p>
<p>The [ENOSYS] error condition has been removed as stubs need not be provided if an implementation does not support the Message
Passing option.</p>
<p>The <a href="../functions/mq_timedsend.html"><i>mq_timedsend</i>()</a> function is added to the SEE ALSO section for alignment
with IEEE&nbsp;Std&nbsp;1003.1d-1999.</p>
