msgsnd(2) System Calls msgsnd(2)
NAME
msgsnd - message send operation
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/msg.h>
int msgsnd(int msqid, const void *msgp, size_t msgsz, int msgflg);
DESCRIPTION
The msgsnd() function is used to send a message to the queue associated
with the message queue identifier specified by msqid.
The msgp argument points to a user-defined buffer that must contain
first a field of type long int that will specify the type of the mes‐
sage, and then a data portion that will hold the data bytes of the mes‐
sage. The structure below is an example of what this user-defined buf‐
fer might look like:
struct mymsg {
long mtype; /* message type */
char mtext[1]; /* message text */
}
The mtype member is a non-zero positive type long int that can be used
by the receiving process for message selection.
The mtext member is any text of length msgsz bytes. The msgsz argument
can range from 0 to a system-imposed maximum.
The msgflg argument specifies the action to be taken if one or more of
the following are true:
o The number of bytes already on the queue is equal to
msg_qbytes. See Intro(2).
o The total number of messages on the queue would exceed the
maximum allowed by the system. See NOTES.
These actions are as follows:
o If (msgflg&IPC_NOWAIT) is non-zero, the message will not be
sent and the calling process will return immediately.
o If (msgflg&IPC_NOWAIT) is 0, the calling process will sus‐
pend execution until one of the following occurs:
o The condition responsible for the suspension no longer
exists, in which case the message is sent.
o The message queue identifier msqid is removed from the
system (see msgctl(2)); when this occurs, errno is set
equal to EIDRM and −1 is returned.
o The calling process receives a signal that is to be
caught; in this case the message is not sent and the
calling process resumes execution in the manner pre‐
scribed in sigaction(2).
Upon successful completion, the following actions are taken with
respect to the data structure associated with msqid (see Intro(2)):
o msg_qnum is incremented by 1.
o msg_lspid is set equal to the process ID of the calling
process.
o msg_stime is set equal to the current time.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, −1 is returned,
no message is sent, and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The msgsnd() function will fail if:
EACCES Operation permission is denied to the calling process. See
Intro(2).
EAGAIN The message cannot be sent for one of the reasons cited above
and (msgflg&IPC_NOWAIT) is non-zero.
EIDRM The message queue identifier msgid is removed from the sys‐
tem.
EINTR The msgsnd() function was interrupted by a signal.
EINVAL The value of msqid is not a valid message queue identifier,
or the value of mtype is less than 1.
The value of msgsz is less than 0 or greater than the system-
imposed limit.
The msgsnd() function may fail if:
EFAULT The msgp argument points to an illegal address.
USAGE
The value passed as the msgp argument should be converted to type void
*.

NOTES
The maximum number of messages allowed on a message queue is the mini‐
mum enforced value of the process.max-msg-messages resource control of
the creating process at the time msgget(2) was used to allocate the
queue.
See rctladm(8) and setrctl(2) for information about using resource
controls.
