10.3.4: Sending a Message

Messages can be sent to a queue with the rtems.message_queue_send and rtems.message_queue_urgent directives. These directives work identically when tasks are waiting to receive a message. A task is removed from the task waiting queue, unblocked, and the message is copied to a waiting task's message buffer.

When no tasks are waiting at the queue, rtems.message_queue_send places the message at the rear of the message queue, while rtems.message_queue_urgent places the message at the front of the queue. The message is copied to a message buffer from this message queue's buffer pool and then placed in the message queue. Neither directive can successfully send a message to a message queue which has a full queue of pending messages.
