message_queue_create(-Queue,
+Options)Create a message queue from Options. Defined options are:
- alias(+Alias)
- Create a message queue that is identified by the atom Alias.
Message queues created this way must be explicitly destroyed by the
user. If the alias option is omitted, an Anonymous queue is
created that is identified by a blob (see section
12.4.10) and subject to garbage collection.204Garbage
collecting anonymous message queues is not part of the ISO proposal and
most likely not a widely implemented feature.
- max_size(+Size)
- Maximum number of terms in the queue. If this number is reached,
thread_send_message/2
will suspend until the queue is drained. The option can be used if the
source, sending messages to the queue, is faster than the drain,
consuming the messages.
