bcanput Utility

Purpose

Tests for flow control in the given priority band.

Syntax

int
bcanput(q, pri)
register queue_t *q;
unsigned char pri;

Description

The bcanput utility provides modules and drivers with a way to test flow control in the given priority band.

The bcanput (q, 0) call is equivalent to the canput (q) call.

Parameters

q Specifies the queue from which to begin to test.
pri Specifies the priority band to test.

Return Values

The bcanput utility returns a value of 1 if a message of the specified priority can be placed on the queue. It returns a value of 0 if the priority band is flow-controlled and sets the QWANTW flag to 0 band (the QB_WANTW flag is set to nonzero band). If the band does not yet exist on the queue in question, it returns a value of 1.
