attributes of the message queue and the open message queue
description associated with the message queue descriptor.
.LP
The \fImqdes\fP argument specifies a message queue descriptor.

The results shall be returned in the \fBmq_attr\fP structure referenced
by the \fImqstat\fP argument.
.LP
Upon return, the following members shall have the values associated
with the open message queue description as set when the
message queue was opened and as modified by subsequent \fImq_setattr\fP()
calls:
\fImq_flags\fP.
.LP
The following attributes of the message queue shall be returned as
set at message queue creation: \fImq_maxmsg\fP,
\fImq_msgsize\fP.
.LP
