10.2.3: Building a Message Queue Attribute Set

In general, an attribute set is built by a bitwise OR of the desired attribute components. The set of valid message queue attributes is provided in the following table:

An attribute listed as a default is not required to appear in the attribute list, although it is a good programming practice to specify default attributes. If all defaults are desired, the attribute RTEMS_DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTES should be specified on this call.

This example demonstrates the attribute_set parameter needed to create a local message queue with the task priority waiting queue discipline. The attribute_set parameter to the rtems_message_queue_create directive could be either RTEMS_PRIORITY or RTEMS_LOCAL | RTEMS_PRIORITY. The attribute_set parameter can be set to RTEMS_PRIORITY because RTEMS_LOCAL is the default for all created message queues. If a similar message queue were to be known globally, then the attribute_set parameter would be RTEMS_GLOBAL | RTEMS_PRIORITY.
