IPC message queue. msgrcv system call. System V. how to get out of loop
I have a message queue from which I am getting messages in a loop. The problem is that I don't know how to exit the loop. msgrcv returns type size_t so it keeps going. What value should开发者_StackOverflow中文版 I compare the return value so I can exit the loop?
while(msgrcv(msqid, &msgreceived, sizeof(msgreceived), BUFFER_CHANGED, 0) != -1){
printf("%d %d %d %d ",msgreceived.value0,msgreceived.value1,msgreceived.value2,msgreceived.value3);
Because your last parameter does not include IPC_NOWAIT
, msgrcv
blocks while waiting for future messages.
If there is no message to be read immediately, msgrcv(..., ... | IPC_NOWAIT)
will return (size_t)-1
and set errno = ENOMSG
.
