Runs on:

QNX Neutrino

Description:

The mqueue manager implements traditional POSIX 1003.1b message queues. When you create a queue, it appears in the pathname space under /dev/mqueue.

Note:
  • The /dev/mqueue directory doesn't appear until you actually create a queue.
  • You can have only one of the alternate message queue manager (mq) and mqueue running on your system at any time.

The traditional POSIX message queue manager is a resource manager that uses messages to communicate with its clients. You can access it locally or remotely, allowing for network-wide message queues.

Note: Starting with release 6.3.0, procnto manages named semaphores, which mqueue used to do (mqueue still manages named semaphores if it detects that procnto isn't doing so).
