.Dt MQ_NOTIFY 2
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm mq_notify
|
|
.Nd "notify process that a message is available (REALTIME)"
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb librt
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In mqueue.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn mq_notify "mqd_t mqdes" "const struct sigevent *notification"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
If the argument notification is not
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
this system call will register the calling process to be notified of message
|
|
arrival at an empty message queue associated with the specified message
|
|
queue descriptor,
|
|
.Fa mqdes .
|
|
The notification specified by the
|
|
.Fa notification
|
|
argument will be sent to
|
|
the process when the message queue transitions from empty to non-empty.
|
|
At any time, only one process may be registered for notification by a
|
|
message queue.
|
|
If the calling process or any other process has already
|
|
registered for notification of message arrival at the specified message
|
|
queue, subsequent attempts to register for that message queue will fail.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa notification
|
|
argument points to a
|
|
.Vt sigevent
|
|
structure that defines how the calling process will be notified.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa notification->sigev_notify
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv SIGEV_NONE ,
|
|
then no signal will be posted, but the error status and the return status
|
|
for the operation will be set appropriately.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa notification->sigev_notify
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv SIGEV_SIGNAL ,
|
|
then the signal specified in
|
|
.Fa notification->sigev_signo
|
|
will be sent to the process.
|
|
The signal will be queued to the process and the value specified in
|
|
.Fa notification->sigev_value
|
|
will be the
|
|
.Va si_value
|
|
component of the generated signal.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa notification
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
and the process is currently registered for notification by the specified
|
|
message queue, the existing registration will be removed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When the notification is sent to the registered process, its registration
|
|
is removed.
|
|
The message queue then is available for registration.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a process has registered for notification of message arrival at a
|
|
message queue and some thread is blocked in
|
|
.Fn mq_receive
|
|
waiting to receive a message when a message arrives at the queue, the
|
|
arriving message will satisfy the appropriate
|
|
.Fn mq_receive .
|
|
The resulting behavior is as if the message queue remains empty, and no
|
|
notification will be sent.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Rv -std
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
