				.Dt MQ_UNLINK 3
				.Os
				gbeUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions Should be bumped. gbe: Should be bumped.
				.Sh NAME
				.Nm mq_unlink
				.Nd "mq_unlink - remove a message queue (REALTIME)"
				.Sh LIBRARY
				.Lb librt
				.Sh SYNOPSIS
				.In mqueue.h
				.Ft int
				.Fn mq_unlink "const char *name"
				.Sh DESCRIPTION
				The
				.Fn mq_unlink
				function removes the message queue named by the string
				.Fa name .
				If one or more processes have the message queue open when
				.Fn mq_unlink
				is called, destruction of the message queue will be postponed
				until all references to the message queue have been closed.
				However, the
				.Fn mq_unlink
				call need not block until all references have been closed; it may return
				immediately.
				.Pp
				After a successful call to
				.Fn mq_unlink ,
				reuse of the name will subsequently cause
				.Xr mq_open 2
				to behave as if no message queue of this name exists.
				.Sh RETURN VALUES
				.Rv -std
				.Sh ERRORS
				The
				.Fn mq_unlink
				system call
				will fail if:
				.Bl -tag -width Er
				.It Bq Er EACCESS
				Permission is denied to unlink the message queue represented by
				.Fa name .
				.It Bq Er EINVAL
				.Fa name
				is invalid.
				.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
				The length of the
				.Fa name
				argument exceeds
				.Brq Dv PATH_MAX
				or
				a pathname component is longer than
				.Brq Dv NAME_MAX .
				.It Bq Er ENOENT
				The message queue does not exist.
				.It Bq Er ENOSYS
				.Xr mqueuefs 5
				module is neither loaded nor included in the kernel.
				fernapeAuthorUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions Should we include ENOSYS? That is the error we get if `mqueuefs(5)` is not loaded or included in the kernel. fernape: Should we include ENOSYS? That is the error we get if `mqueuefs(5)` is not loaded or included…
				gbeUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions I would include ENOSYS. gbe: I would include ENOSYS.

				.Sh SEE ALSO
				yuripvUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions I find this a bit confusing, does it mean `not loaded and not included in the kernel`? yuripv: I find this a bit confusing, does it mean `not loaded and not included in the kernel`?
				fernapeAuthorUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions Maybe "is neither loaded nor included in the kernel" sounds better? fernape: Maybe //"is neither loaded nor included in the kernel"// sounds better?
				.Xr mq_open 2
				.Sh STANDARDS
				The
				.Fn mq_unlink
				system call conforms to
				fernapeAuthorUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions I am not 100% sure about this since we might return `EINVAL` and it is not mentioned by POSIX IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition. Other mq_* man pages claim to be POSIX compliant though. fernape: I am not 100% sure about this since we might return `EINVAL` and it is not mentioned by [[https…
				gbeUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions Thats okay, you may mention that the EINVAL error is an extension to the POSIX specification. gbe: Thats okay, you may mention that the EINVAL error is an extension to the POSIX specification.
				.St -p1003.1-2004 .
				The
				.Bq Er EACCESS
				error code is an extension to the standard.
				.Sh HISTORY
				Support for POSIX message queues first appeared in
				fernapeAuthorUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions Here is a warning for the double dash. fernape: Here is a warning for the double dash.

				fernapeAuthorUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions Well, in the URL, there is this text: The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and The Open Group, have given us permission to reprint portions of their documentation I did not ask for permission, that is for sure. The note I copied verbatim comes from `mq_close.2`. Having a look at the changes I see the following: commit db47316b5cc4d4a3a6509ba4f14f439fb365f010 Author: Philip Paeps <philip@FreeBSD.org> Date: Fri Feb 29 17:48:25 2008 +0000 Use the easily-greppable copyright notice template from src/share/examples/mdoc/POSIX-copyright. Requested by: ru Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=176661 commit a975b4b6f22e2cd719ae19fcf264a80857a049ea Author: Philip Paeps <philip@FreeBSD.org> Date: Thu Feb 21 19:16:57 2008 +0000 Note, as required by our agreement with IEEE/The Open Group, that the message queue manual pages excerpt the POSIX standard. Spotted by: Mindaugas Rasiukevicius <rmind -at- NetBSD.org> Reviewed by: imp MFC after: 1 day Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=176443 So it seems we did ask for permission at some point for the `mq` pages at a whole. fernape: Well, in the URL, there is this text: //The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers…
				yuripvUnsubmitted Not Done Inline Actions Great, thanks for clarifying this. I'd still include it the copyright header above as readers are not really interested in documentation copyrights, and we still have it in "binary" form. yuripv: Great, thanks for clarifying this. I'd still include it the copyright header above as readers…
				fernapeAuthorUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions Hummm... the COPYRIGHT notice is also at the end of the commentary in the beginning of the file... or are you referring to something else? We could remove the COPYRIGHT section, although it seems to be there for the rest of `mq_` manpages fernape:* Hummm... the COPYRIGHT notice is also at the end of the commentary in the beginning of the file.
