Unix IPC之Posix消息队列(1)

消息队列能够认为是一个消息链表，某个进程往一个消息队列中写入消息以前，不须要另外某个进程在该队列上等待消息的达到，这一点与管道和FIFO相反。Posix消息队列与System V消息队列的区别以下：

1. 对Posix消息队列的读老是返回最高优先级的最先消息，对System V消息队列的读则能够返回任意指定优先级的消息。
2. 当往一个空队列放置一个消息时，Posix消息队列容许产生一个信号或启动一个线程，System V消息队列则不提供相似的机制。

Posix消息队列操做函数以下：

　　头文件及部分定义：

#include    <mqueue.h>
typedef int mqd_t;

/* Establish connection between a process and a message queue NAME and
   return message queue descriptor or (mqd_t) -1 on error.  OFLAG determines
   the type of access used.  If O_CREAT is on OFLAG, the third argument is
   taken as a `mode_t', the mode of the created message queue, and the fourth
   argument is taken as `struct mq_attr *', pointer to message queue
   attributes.  If the fourth argument is NULL, default attributes are
   used.  */
extern mqd_t mq_open (__const char *__name, int __oflag, ...)
  __THROW __nonnull ((1));

/* Removes the association between message queue descriptor MQDES and its
   message queue.  */
extern int mq_close (mqd_t __mqdes) __THROW;

/* Remove message queue named NAME.  */
extern int mq_unlink (__const char *__name) __THROW __nonnull ((1));

下面采用上面的函数，写程序进程测试。

程序1(mqcreate1.c)：建立一个消息队列，其名字是做为命令行参数指定。程序以下：

#include    "unpipc.h"

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    int     c, flags;
    mqd_t   mqd; // linux下是int类型

    flags = O_RDWR | O_CREAT;
    while ( (c = Getopt(argc, argv, "e")) != -1)
    {
        switch (c)
        {
            case 'e':
                flags |= O_EXCL;
                break;
        }
    }
    if (optind != argc - 1)
        err_quit("usage: mqcreate [ -e ] <name>");

    mqd = Mq_open(argv[optind], flags, FILE_MODE, NULL);

    Mq_close(mqd);
    exit(0);
}

程序2(mqunlink.c)：删除一个消息队列。程序以下：

#include    "unpipc.h"

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    if (argc != 2)
        err_quit("usage: mqunlink <name>");

    Mq_unlink(argv[1]);

    exit(0);
}

注：代码需在Unix网络编程-卷2的程序包中才能编译经过。

Posix消息队列是创建在系统的虚拟文件系统中，若要查看，可将其挂载到系统的文件系统中；

mount命令格式以下：

挂载命令以下：

[dell@localhost pxmsg]$ mkdir /tmp/mqueue
[dell@localhost pxmsg]$ mount -t mqueue none /tmp/mqueue
mount: only root can do that
[dell@localhost pxmsg]$ sudo !-1
sudo mount -t mqueue none /tmp/mqueue
[sudo] password for dell: 

程序运行结果：

[dell@localhost pxmsg]$ ./mqunlink /temp.1234
[dell@localhost pxmsg]$ ls -l /tmp/mqueue/
总用量 0
[dell@localhost pxmsg]$ ./mqcreate1 /temp.1234
[dell@localhost pxmsg]$ ls -l /tmp/mqueue/
总用量 0
-rw-r--r--. 1 dell dell 80 8月  12 20:10 temp.1234
[dell@localhost pxmsg]$ ./mqunlink /temp.1234
[dell@localhost pxmsg]$ ls -l /tmp/mqueue/
总用量 0
[dell@localhost pxmsg]$ 

说明：为何要这样作，可在shell下运行一下命令查询：

man 7 mq_overview

这里选取部分说明文档：

Mounting the message queue file system
       On Linux, message queues are created in a virtual file system.   (Other
       implementations  may  also  provide such a feature, but the details are
       likely to differ.)  This file system can be mounted (by the  superuser)
       using the following commands:


           # mkdir /dev/mqueue
           # mount -t mqueue none /dev/mqueue

Each message queue  is  identi fied by a name of the form /somename.  Two processes can operate on the
same queue by passing the same name to mq_open().
