<div class="box"><code><tt><sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('XSI')">XSI</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt=

<h4><a name="tag_03_393_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>msgctl</i>() function operates on XSI message queues (see the Base Definitions volume of IEEE&nbsp;Std&nbsp;1003.1-2001,
<a href="../basedefs/xbd_chap03.html#tag_03_224">Section 3.224, Message Queue</a>). It is unspecified whether this function
interoperates with the realtime interprocess communication facilities defined in <a href=
"xsh_chap02_08.html#tag_02_08"><i>Realtime</i></a> .</p>
<p>The <i>msgctl</i>() function shall provide message control operations as specified by <i>cmd</i>. The following values for
<i>cmd</i>, and the message control operations they specify, are:</p>
<dl compact>
<dt>IPC_STAT</dt>
<dd>Place the current value of each member of the <b>msqid_ds</b> data structure associated with <i>msqid</i> into the structure
pointed to by <i>buf</i>. The contents of this structure are defined in <a href=
"../basedefs/sys/msg.h.html"><i>&lt;sys/msg.h&gt;</i></a>.</dd>
<dt>IPC_SET</dt>
<dd>Set the value of the following members of the <b>msqid_ds</b> data structure associated with <i>msqid</i> to the corresponding
value found in the structure pointed to by <i>buf</i>:
<pre>
<tt>msg_perm.uid
msg_perm.gid
msg_perm.mode
msg_qbytes
</tt>
</pre>
<p>IPC_SET can only be executed by a process with appropriate privileges or that has an effective user ID equal to the value of
<b>msg_perm.cuid</b> or <b>msg_perm.uid</b> in the <b>msqid_ds</b> data structure associated with <i>msqid</i>. Only a process with
appropriate privileges can raise the value of <b>msg_qbytes</b>.</p>
</dd>
<dt>IPC_RMID</dt>
<dd>Remove the message queue identifier specified by <i>msqid</i> from the system and destroy the message queue and <b>msqid_ds</b>
data structure associated with it. IPC_RMD can only be executed by a process with appropriate privileges or one that has an
effective user ID equal to the value of <b>msg_perm.cuid</b> or <b>msg_perm.uid</b> in the <b>msqid_ds</b> data structure
associated with <i>msqid</i>.</dd>
</dl>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_393_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>Upon successful completion, <i>msgctl</i>() shall return 0; otherwise, it shall return -1 and set <i>errno</i> to indicate the
error.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_393_05"></a>ERRORS</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>msgctl</i>() function shall fail if:</p>
<dl compact>
<dt>[EACCES]</dt>
<dd>The argument <i>cmd</i> is IPC_STAT and the calling process does not have read permission; see <a href=
"xsh_chap02_07.html#tag_02_07"><i>XSI Interprocess Communication</i></a> .</dd>
<dt>[EINVAL]</dt>
<dd>The value of <i>msqid</i> is not a valid message queue identifier; or the value of <i>cmd</i> is not a valid command.</dd>
<dt>[EPERM]</dt>
<dd>The argument <i>cmd</i> is IPC_RMID or IPC_SET and the effective user ID of the calling process is not equal to that of a
process with appropriate privileges and it is not equal to the value of <b>msg_perm.cuid</b> or <b>msg_perm.uid</b> in the data
structure associated with <i>msqid</i>.</dd>
<dt>[EPERM]</dt>
<dd>The argument <i>cmd</i> is IPC_SET, an attempt is being made to increase to the value of <b>msg_qbytes</b>, and the effective
user ID of the calling process does not have appropriate privileges.</dd>

</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_393_07"></a>APPLICATION USAGE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The POSIX Realtime Extension defines alternative interfaces for interprocess communication (IPC). Application developers who
need to use IPC should design their applications so that modules using the IPC routines described in <a href=
"xsh_chap02_07.html#tag_02_07"><i>XSI Interprocess Communication</i></a> can be easily modified to use the alternative
interfaces.</p>
