       mq_setattr -- set message queue attributes (RREEAALLTTIIMMEE)

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
       #include <mqueue.h>

       int mq_setattr(mqd_t _m_q_d_e_s, const struct mq_attr *restrict _m_q_s_t_a_t,
           struct mq_attr *restrict _o_m_q_s_t_a_t);

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The _m_q___s_e_t_a_t_t_r() function shall set attributes associated with the open
       message queue description referenced by the message queue descriptor
       specified by _m_q_d_e_s.

       The message queue attributes corresponding to the following members
       defined in the mmqq__aattttrr structure shall be set to the specified values
       upon successful completion of _m_q___s_e_t_a_t_t_r():

       _m_q___f_l_a_g_s    The value of this member is the bitwise-logical OR of zero
                   or more of O_NONBLOCK and any implementation-defined flags.

       The values of the _m_q___m_a_x_m_s_g, _m_q___m_s_g_s_i_z_e, and _m_q___c_u_r_m_s_g_s members of the
       mmqq__aattttrr structure shall be ignored by _m_q___s_e_t_a_t_t_r().

       If _o_m_q_s_t_a_t is non-NULL, the _m_q___s_e_t_a_t_t_r() function shall store, in the
       location referenced by _o_m_q_s_t_a_t, the previous message queue attributes
       and the current queue status.  These values shall be the same as would
       be returned by a call to _m_q___g_e_t_a_t_t_r() at that point.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       Upon successful completion, the function shall return a value of zero
       and the attributes of the message queue shall have been changed as
       specified.

       Otherwise, the message queue attributes shall be unchanged, and the
       function shall return a value of -1 and set _e_r_r_n_o to indicate the
       error.

EERRRROORRSS
       The _m_q___s_e_t_a_t_t_r() function shall fail if:

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