Like we can do, poll/epoll/select on an fd, we can not on msg queue id. I found some non standard methods to make msgqueue-id to fd, but afterall its a non standard. So my question is, Why linux geeks, not implemented poll/select on msg queue id ? Does that lead to serious issue ?
I need to implement such sort of mechanism. How can I do that ?
From the mq_overview
man page:
Polling message queue descriptors
On Linux, a message queue descriptor is actually a file descriptor, and can be monitored using select(2), poll(2), or epoll(7). This is not portable.
So you can use poll
and friends on message queues - just make sure you use the modern variant.
