#include <sys/stream.h> int putctl(queue_t *q, int type);
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
q
Queue to which the message is to be sent.
type
Message type (must be control, not data type).
The putctl() function tests the type argument to make sure a data type has not been specified, and then attempts to allocate a message block. putctl() fails if type is M_DATA, M_PROTO, or M_PCPROTO, or if a message block cannot be allocated. If successful, putctl() calls the put(9E) routine of the queue pointed to by q with the newly allocated and initialized messages.
On success, 1 is returned. If type is a data type, or if a message block cannot be allocated, 0 is returned.
The putctl() function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context.
Example 1 Using putctl()
The send_ctl() routine is used to pass control messages downstream. M_BREAK messages are handled with putctl() (line 11). putctl1(9F) (line 16) is used for M_DELAY messages, so that parm can be used to specify the length of the delay. In either case, if a message block cannot be allocated a variable recording the number of allocation failures is incremented (lines 12, 17). If an invalid message type is detected, cmn_err(9F) panics the system (line 21).
