+.Sh NAME
+.Nm msgsnd
+.Nd send a message to a message queue
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/types.h
+.In sys/ipc.h
+.In sys/msg.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn msgsnd "int msqid" "void *msgp" "size_t msgsz" "int msgflg"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn msgsnd
+function sends a message to the message queue specified in
+.Fa msqid .
+.Fa msgp
+points to a structure containing the message.
+This structure should
+consist of the following members:
+.Bd -literal
+    long mtype;    /* message type */
+    char mtext[1]; /* body of message */
+.Ed
+.Pp
+.Va mtype
+is an integer greater than 0 that can be used for selecting messages (see
+.Xr msgrcv 3 ) ,
+.Va mtext
+is an array of bytes, with a size up to that of the system limit
+.Pf ( Dv MSGMAX ) .
+.Pp
+If the number of bytes already on the message queue plus
+.Fa msgsz
+is bigger than the maximum number of bytes on the message queue
+.Pf ( Va msg_qbytes ,
+see
+.Xr msgctl 3 ) ,
+or the number of messages on all queues system-wide is already equal to
+the system limit,
+.Fa msgflg
+determines the action of
+.Fn msgsnd .
+If
+.Fa msgflg
+has
+.Dv IPC_NOWAIT
+mask set in it, the call will return immediately.
+If
+.Fa msgflg
+does not have
+.Dv IPC_NOWAIT
+set in it, the call will block until:
+.Bl -bullet
+.It
+The condition which caused the call to block does no longer exist.
+The message will be sent.
+.It
+The message queue is removed, in which case -1 will be returned, and
+.Va errno
+is set to
+.Er EINVAL .
+.It
+The caller catches a signal.
+The call returns with
+.Va errno
+set to
+.Er EINTR .
+.El
+.Pp
+After a successful call, the data structure associated with the message
+queue is updated in the following way:
+.Bl -bullet
+.It
+.Va msg_cbytes
+is incremented by the size of the message.
+.It
+.Va msg_qnum
+is incremented by 1.
+.It
+.Va msg_lspid
+is set to the pid of the calling process.
+.It
+.Va msg_stime
+is set to the current time.
+.El
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Rv -std msgsnd
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Fn msgsnd
+will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+.Fa msqid
+is not a valid message queue identifier
+.Pp
+The message queue was removed while
+.Fn msgsnd
+was waiting for a resource to become available in order to deliver the
+message.
+.Pp
+.Fa msgsz
+is less than 0, or greater than
+.Va msg_qbytes .
+.Pp
+.Fa mtype
+is not greater than 0.
+.It Bq Er EACCES
+The calling process does not have write access to the message queue.
+.It Bq Er EAGAIN
+There was no space for this message either on the queue, or in the whole
+system, and
+.Dv IPC_NOWAIT
+was set in
+.Fa msgflg .
+.It Bq Er EFAULT
+.Fa msgp
+points to an invalid address.
+.It Bq Er EINTR
+The system call was interrupted by the delivery of a signal.
+.El
+.Sh BUGS
+.Nx
+and
+.Fx
+do not define the
+.Er EIDRM
+error value, which should be used
+in the case of a removed message queue.
+.Sh HISTORY
+Message queues appeared in the first release of AT&T Unix System V.
