The following section describes parameters whose functionality has been removed, but the parameter might still be available for compatibility reasons. These parameters are ignored if they are set.
Specifies size of chunks system uses to manage space for message buffers. Obsolete since the Solaris 8 release.
Signed integer
40
0 to MAXINT
No. Loaded into msgtql field of msginfo structure.
The space consumed by the maximum number of data structures that would be created to support the messages and queues is compared to 25% of the available kernel memory at the time the module is loaded. If the number is too big, the message queue module refuses to load and the facility is unavailable. This computation does include the space that might be consumed by the messages. This situation occurs only when the module is first loaded.
When the default value is not enough. Generally changed at the recommendation of software vendors.
Obsolete
Number of messages the system supports. Obsolete since the Solaris 8 release.

When the default value is not enough. Generally changed at the recommendation of software vendors.
Obsolete
Number of msginfo_msgssz segments the system uses as a pool for available message memory. Total memory available for messages is msginfo_msgseg * msginfo_msgssz. Obsolete as of the Solaris 8 release.
