 * @brief POSIX Message Queues
 * 
 * This file contains the definitions related to POSIX Message Queues.
 * 
 * The structure of the routines is identical to that of POSIX
 * Message_queues to leave the option of having unnamed message
 * queues at a future date.  They are currently not part of the
 * POSIX standard but unnamed message_queues are.  This is also
 * the reason for the apparently unnecessary tracking of
 * the process_shared attribute.  [In addition to the fact that
 * it would be trivial to add pshared to the mq_attr structure
 * and have process private message queues.]
 *
 * This code ignores the O_RDONLY/O_WRONLY/O_RDWR flag at open
 * time.
