-.fi -.SH DESCRIPTION -.BR mq_notify () -allows the calling process to register or unregister for delivery of -an asynchronous notification when a new message arrives on -the empty message queue referred to by the message queue descriptor -.IR mqdes . -.P -The -.I sevp -argument is a pointer to a -.I sigevent -structure. -For the definition and general details of this structure, see -.BR sigevent (3type). -.P -If -.I sevp -is a non-null pointer, then -.BR mq_notify () -registers the calling process to receive message notification. -The -.I sigev_notify -field of the -.I sigevent -structure to which -.I sevp -points specifies how notification is to be performed. -This field has one of the following values: -.TP -.B SIGEV_NONE -A "null" notification: the calling process is registered as the target -for notification, but when a message arrives, no notification is sent. -.\" When is SIGEV_NONE useful? -.TP -.B SIGEV_SIGNAL -Notify the process by sending the signal specified in -.IR sigev_signo . -See -.BR sigevent (3type) -for general details. -The -.I si_code -field of the -.I siginfo_t -structure will be set to -.BR SI_MESGQ . -In addition, -.\" I don't know of other implementations that set -.\" si_pid and si_uid -- MTK -.I si_pid -will be set to the PID of the process that sent the message, and -.I si_uid -will be set to the real user ID of the sending process. -.TP -.B SIGEV_THREAD -Upon message delivery, invoke -.I sigev_notify_function -as if it were the start function of a new thread. -See -.BR sigevent (3type) -for details. -.P -Only one process can be registered to receive notification -from a message queue. -.P -If -.I sevp -is NULL, and the calling process is currently registered to receive -notifications for this message queue, then the registration is removed; -another process can then register to receive a message notification -for this queue. -.P -Message notification occurs only when a new message arrives and -the queue was previously empty. -If the queue was not empty at the time -.BR mq_notify () -was called, then a notification will occur only after -the queue is emptied and a new message arrives. -.P -If another process or thread is waiting to read a message -from an empty queue using -.BR mq_receive (3), -then any message notification registration is ignored: -the message is delivered to the process or thread calling -.BR mq_receive (3), -and the message notification registration remains in effect. -.P -Notification occurs once: after a notification is delivered, -the notification registration is removed, -and another process can register for message notification. -If the notified process wishes to receive the next notification, -it can use -.BR mq_notify () -to request a further notification. -This should be done before emptying all unread messages from the queue. -(Placing the queue in nonblocking mode is useful for emptying -the queue of messages without blocking once it is empty.) -.SH RETURN VALUE -On success -.BR mq_notify () -returns 0; on error, \-1 is returned, with -.I errno -set to indicate the error. -.SH ERRORS -.TP -.B EBADF -The message queue descriptor specified in -.I mqdes -is invalid. -.TP -.B EBUSY -Another process has already registered to receive notification -for this message queue. -.TP -.B EINVAL -.I sevp\->sigev_notify -is not one of the permitted values;
