Posix消息队列接口说明(英文版).doc

最近看到的一些关于POSIX消息队列接口中文说明很粗略，现在提供其英文版详细说明 NAME mq_receive - receive a message from a message queue (REALTIME) ?SYNOPSIS #include mqueue.h ssize_t mq_receive(mqd_t mqdes, char *msg_ptr, size_t msg_len, unsigned int *msg_prio); ?DESCRIPTION The mq_receive() function is used to receive the oldest of the highest priority message(s) from the message queue specified by mqdes. If the size of the buffer in bytes, specified by the msg_len argument, is less than the mq_msgsize attribute of the message queue, the function fails and returns an error. Otherwise, the selected message is removed from the queue and copied to the buffer pointed to by the msg_ptr argument. If the value of msg_len is greater than {SSIZE_MAX}, the result is implementation-dependent. If the argument msg_prio is not NULL, the priority of the selected message is stored in the location referenced by msg_prio. If the specified message queue is empty and O_NONBLOCK is not set in the message queue description associated with mqdes, mq_receive() blocks until a message is enqueued on the message queue or until 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 and the Priority Scheduling option is supported, then the thread of highest priority that has been waiting the longest will be selected to receive the message. Otherwise, it is unspecified which waiting thread receives the message. If the specified message queue is empty and O_NONBLOCK is set in the message queue description associated with mqdes, no message is removed from the queue, and mq_receive() returns an error. ?RETURN VALUE Upon successful completion, mq_receive() returns the length of the selected message in bytes and the message is removed from the queue. Otherwise, no message is removed from the queue, the function returns a value of -1, and sets errno to indicate the error. ?ERRORS The mq_receive() function will fail if: [EAGAIN] O_NONBLOCK was s
