RTEMS POSIX API User's Guide
The mq_getattr() function is used to get status information and attributes of the message queue associated with the message queue descriptor. The results are returned in the mq_attr structure referenced by the mqstat argument. All of these attributes are set at create time, except the blocking/non-blocking behavior of the message queue which can be dynamically set by using mq_setattr. The attribute mq_curmsg is set to reflect the number of messages on the queue at the time that mq_getattr was called.
