RTEMS POSIX API User's Guide
The mq_unlink() function removes the named message queue. If the message queue is not open when mq_unlink is called, then the queue is immediately eliminated. Any messages that were on the queue are lost, and the queue can not be opened again. If processes have the queue open when mq_unlink is called, the removal of the queue is delayed until the last process using the queue has finished. However, the name of the message queue is removed so that no other process can open it.
