New: msg_len of mq_receive()

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64571

Bug ID: 64571
Summary: msg_len of mq_receive()
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: man-pages
Assignee: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/[email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Regression: No

In the DESCRIPTION section of the manpage of "man 3 mq_receive", it says: "The msg_len argument specifies the size of the buffer pointed to by msg_ptr; this must be greater than the mq_msgsize attribute of the queue (see mq_getattr(3))."
Further down, in the ERROR section, it says: "EMSGSIZE msg_len was less than
the mq_msgsize attribute of the message queue."

I think the description should say "this must be *greater or equal* than the mq_msgsize attribute", because currently it says "this must be *greater* than the mq_msgsize attribute", but according to the ERROR section it would only be an error if "msg_len was less than the mq_msgsize attribute".

--- Comment #1 from Michael Kerrisk <[email protected]> --- Yes, of course that's correct. I've applied a patch to add "or equal to".

Thanks for the report.

Cheers,

Michael
