#include <mqueue.h>

int mq_close(mqd_t mqdes);

DESCRIPTION

mq_close() removes the association between the message queue descriptor, mqdes, and its message queue.

If the process (or thread) has registered a notification request to the message queue via this mqdes, this registration is removed and the message queue is available for another process to attach for notification.

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, mq_close() returns 0; otherwise, the function returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error condition. 

ERRORS

EBADF mqdes is an invalid message queue descriptor. 

ENOSYS sem_open() is not supported by this implementation.
