       mq_getattr -- get message queue attributes (RREEAALLTTIIMMEE)

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
       #include <mqueue.h>

       int mq_getattr(mqd_t _m_q_d_e_s, struct mq_attr *_m_q_s_t_a_t);

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The _m_q___g_e_t_a_t_t_r() function shall obtain status information and
       attributes of the message queue and the open message queue description
       associated with the message queue descriptor.

       The _m_q_d_e_s argument specifies a message queue descriptor.

       The results shall be returned in the mmqq__aattttrr structure referenced by
       the _m_q_s_t_a_t argument.

       Upon return, the following members shall have the values associated
       with the open message queue description as set when the message queue
       was opened and as modified by subsequent _m_q___s_e_t_a_t_t_r() calls: _m_q___f_l_a_g_s.

       The following attributes of the message queue shall be returned as set
       at message queue creation: _m_q___m_a_x_m_s_g, _m_q___m_s_g_s_i_z_e.

       Upon return, the following members within the mmqq__aattttrr structure
       referenced by the _m_q_s_t_a_t argument shall be set to the current state of
       the message queue:

       _m_q___c_u_r_m_s_g_s
                 The number of messages currently on the queue.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       Upon successful completion, the _m_q___g_e_t_a_t_t_r() function shall return
       zero. Otherwise, the function shall return -1 and set _e_r_r_n_o to indicate
       the error.

EERRRROORRSS
       The _m_q___g_e_t_a_t_t_r() function may fail if:

       EEBBAADDFF  The _m_q_d_e_s argument is not a valid message queue descriptor.
