mqueue

Traditional message queue manager (QNX Neutrino)

Note: You must be root or have the right abilities to start this manager.

Syntax:

mqueue [-d] [-p priority]

Runs on:

QNX Neutrino

Options:

-d: Don't daemonize.
-p priority: Run at the given static priority.

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: In QNX Neutrino 7.0 or later:

the /dev/mqueue directory appears as soon as you start mqueue
The alternate message queue manager (mq) and mqueue can coexist, but we recommend that you use only one of them on your system

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.
