The mq_getattr() function shall obtain status information and attributes of the message queue and the open message queue description associated with the message queue descriptor.

The results shall be returned in the mq_attr structure referenced by the mqstat argument.
Upon return, the following members shall have the values associated with the open message queue description as set when the message queue was opened and as modified by subsequent mq_setattr() calls: mq_flags.
The following attributes of the message queue shall be returned as set at message queue creation: mq_maxmsg, mq_msgsize.
