NAME
       mq_close - close a message queue (REALTIME)
SYNOPSIS
       #include <mqueue.h>
       int mq_close(mqd_t mqdes);

DESCRIPTION
       The mq_close() function shall remove the association between  the  mes-
       sage  queue  descriptor,  mqdes,  and its message queue. The results of
       using this message queue descriptor after successful return  from  this
       mq_close(),  and until the return of this message queue descriptor from
       a subsequent mq_open(), are undefined.
       If the process has successfully attached a notification request to  the
       message queue via this mqdes, this attachment shall be removed, and the
       message queue is available for another process to attach for  notifica-
       tion.
RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful  completion,  the  mq_close()  function shall return a
       value of zero; otherwise, the function shall return a value of  -1  and
       set errno to indicate the error.
ERRORS
       The mq_close() function shall fail if:
       EBADF  The mqdes argument is not a valid message queue descriptor.
