6 @brief Exchange messages between threads in a FIFO-like operation.
8 \b Message \b passing is another basic communication model between threads. In the message passing model, one thread sends
9 data explicitly, while another thread receives it. The operation is more like some kind of I/O rather than a direct access to
10 information to be shared. In CMSIS-RTOS, this mechanism is called s \b message \b queue. The data is passed from one thread
11 to another in a FIFO-like operation. Using message queue functions, you can control, send, receive, or wait for messages. The
12 data to be passed can be of integer or pointer type:

16 Compared to a \ref CMSIS_RTOS_PoolMgmt, message queues are less efficient in general, but solve a broader range of problems.
17 Sometimes, threads do not have a common address space or the use of shared memory raises problems, such as mutual exclusion.
19 \note The functions \ref osMessageQueuePut, \ref osMessageQueueGet, \ref osMessageQueueGetCapacity,
20 \ref osMessageQueueGetMsgSize, \ref osMessageQueueGetCount, \ref osMessageQueueGetSpace can be called from
21 \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".

37 Specifies the following attributes for the \ref osMessageQueueNew function.

42 \fn osMessageQueueId_t osMessageQueueNew (uint32_t msg_count, uint32_t msg_size, const osMessageQueueAttr_t *attr)
44 The function \ref osMessageQueueNew creates and initializes a message queue object.
45 The function returns a message queue object identifier or \token{NULL} in case of an error.
47 The function can be called after kernel initialization with \ref osKernelInitialize. It is possible to
48 create message queue objects before the RTOS kernel is started with \ref osKernelStart.
50 The total amount of memory required for the message queue data is at least <code>msg_count * msg_size</code>.
51 The \em msg_size is rounded up to a double even number to ensure 32-bit alignment of the memory blocks.
53 The memory blocks allocated from the message queue have a fixed size defined with the parameter \c msg_size.
55 \note This function \b cannot be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".

64 \fn const char *osMessageQueueGetName (osMessageQueueId_t mq_id)
66 The function \b osMessageQueueGetName returns the pointer to the name string of the message queue identified by parameter \a
67 mq_id or \token{NULL} in case of an error.
69 \note This function may be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".

74 \fn osStatus_t osMessageQueuePut (osMessageQueueId_t mq_id, const void *msg_ptr, uint8_t msg_prio, uint32_t timeout)
76 The blocking function \b osMessageQueuePut puts the message pointed to by \a msg_ptr into the the message queue specified
77 by parameter \a mq_id. The parameter \a msg_prio is used to sort message according their priority (higher numbers indicate
78 a higher priority) on insertion.
80 The parameter \a timeout specifies how long the system waits to put the message into the queue. While the system waits, the
81 thread that is calling this function is put into the \ref ThreadStates "BLOCKED" state. The parameter \ref CMSIS_RTOS_TimeOutValue "timeout"
82 can have the following values:
83 - when \a timeout is \token{0}, the function returns instantly (i.e. try semantics).
84 - when \a timeout is set to \b osWaitForever the function will wait for an infinite time until the message is delivered (i.e. wait semantics).
85 - all other values specify a time in kernel ticks for a timeout (i.e. timed-wait semantics).
87 Possible \ref osStatus_t return values:
88 - \em osOK: the message has been put into the queue.
89 - \em osErrorTimeout: the message could not be put into the queue in the given time (wait-timed semantics).
90 - \em osErrorResource: not enough space in the queue (try semantics).
91 - \em osErrorParameter: parameter \em mq_id is \token{NULL} or invalid, non-zero timeout specified in an ISR.
92 - \em osErrorSafetyClass: the calling thread safety class is lower than the safety class of the specified message queue.
94 \note May be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines" if the parameter \a timeout is set to
