.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mq_receive
|
|
function receives the oldest of the highest priority message(s)
|
|
from the message queue specified by
|
|
.Fa mqdes .
|
|
If the size of the buffer in bytes, specified by the
|
|
.Fa msg_len
|
|
argument, is less than the
|
|
.Va mq_msgsize
|
|
attribute of the message queue, the function fails and returns an error.
|
|
Otherwise, the selected message will be removed from the queue and copied
|
|
to the buffer pointed to by the
|
|
.Fa msg_ptr
|
|
argument.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the argument
|
|
.Fa msg_prio
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
the priority of the selected message will be stored in the location
|
|
referenced by
|
|
.Fa msg_prio .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the specified message queue is empty and
|
|
.Dv O_NONBLOCK
|
|
is not set in the message queue description associated with
|
|
.Fa mqdes ,
|
|
.Fn mq_receive
|
|
blocks until a message is enqueued on the message queue or until
|
|
.Fn mq_receive
|
|
is interrupted by a signal.
|
|
If more than one thread is waiting to receive a message when a
|
|
message arrives at an empty queue, then the thread of highest
|
|
priority that has been waiting the longest will be selected to
|
|
receive the message.
|
|
If the specified message queue is empty and
|
|
.Dv O_NONBLOCK
|
|
is set in the message queue description associated with
|
|
.Fa mqdes ,
|
|
no message will be removed from the queue, and
|
|
.Fn mq_receive
|
|
returns an error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The timeout expires when the absolute time specified by
|
|
.Fa abs_timeout
|
|
passes, as measured by the clock on which timeouts are based (that is,
|
|
when the value of that clock equals or exceeds
|
|
.Fa abs_timeout ) ,
|
|
or if the absolute time specified by
|
|
.Fa abs_timeout
|
|
has already been passed at the time of the call.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The resolution of the timeout is based on the CLOCK_REALTIME clock.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa timespec
|
|
argument is defined in the
|
|
.Aq time.h
|
|
header.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Under no circumstance will the operation fail with a timeout if a
|
|
message can be removed from the message queue immediately.
|
|
The validity of the
|
|
.Fa abs_timeout
|
|
parameter will not be checked if a message can be removed from the
|
|
message queue immediately.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, the
|
|
.Fn mq_receive
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn mq_timedreceive
|
|
functions return a value of zero.
|
|
Otherwise, no message will be removed from the queue,
|
|
the functions return a value of
|
|
\-1, and set the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mq_receive
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn mq_timedreceive
|
|
functions fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
.Dv O_NONBLOCK
|
|
was set in the message description associated with
|
|
.Fa mqdes ,
|
|
and the specified message queue is empty.
|
|
.It Bq Er EBADF
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa mqdes
|
|
argument is not a valid message queue descriptor open for reading.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINTR
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mq_receive
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn mq_timedreceive
|
|
operation was interrupted by a signal.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The process or thread would have blocked, and the
|
|
.Fa abs_timeout
|
|
parameter specified a nanoseconds field value less than zero
|
|
or greater than or equal to 1000 million.
|
|
.It Bq Er EMSGSIZE
|
|
The specified message buffer size,
|
|
.Fa msg_len ,
|
|
is less than the message size attribute of the message queue.
|
|
.It Bq Er ETIMEDOUT
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv O_NONBLOCK
|
|
flag was not set when the message queue was opened,
|
|
but no message arrived on the queue before the specified timeout expired.
