Posix消息队列QSIZE查询

当我在执行mq_send()/ mq_receive()之前和之后使用“cat / dev / mqueue / myqueue”检查消息队列的QSIZE时,mq_recieve()之后似乎在队列上留下了一些剩余字节。我的小测试程序如下:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#include <mqueue.h>


#define MSG_LEN 8192 // As per mq_msgsize as returned by mq_getattr() on CentOS 7 x86_64 


int main(void)
{
    mqd_t mq;


    /* Create a message queue */
    if ((mq = mq_open("/myqueue", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR, NULL)) == -1) {
        perror("Error calling mq_open()");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }


    /* Create a message */

    char msg[MSG_LEN] = {" "};

    int msglen = snprintf(msg, MSG_LEN, "Hello, World!"); // msglen is 13 without the terminating '\0' 

    if (msglen < 0) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Error calling snprintf()\n");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }


    /*
     * QSIZE here using "cat /dev/mqueue/myqueue" is: 0
     * OK
     */


    /* Send the message */

    if (mq_send(mq, msg, msglen + 1, 1) == -1) { // add 1 to msglen for the termining '\0'
        perror("Error calling mq_send()");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }


    /*
     * QSIZE here using "cat /dev/mqueue/myqueue" is: 62
     * Why not 14?
     */


    /* Receive the message */

    if (mq_receive(mq, msg, MSG_LEN, NULL) == -1) {
        perror("Error calling mq_receive()");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }


    /*
     * QSIZE here using "cat /dev/mqueue/myqueue" is: 48
     * Why not 0?
     */


    exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

我不明白为什么最初将62个字节放入队列,并且在发送和接收14字节消息后留下48字节的残余。任何帮助将不胜感激。

我相信消息队列会在文件中存储一些簿记信息。从mq_overview()手册页:

  

目录中每个文件的内容由一行组成         包含有关队列的信息:

       $ cat /dev/mqueue/mymq
       QSIZE:129     NOTIFY:2    SIGNO:0    NOTIFY_PID:8260
