NAME
     adjmsg - trim bytes from a message

SYNOPSIS
     #include 



     int adjmsg(mblk_t *mp, ssize_t len);


INTERFACE LEVEL
     Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).

PARAMETERS
     mp     Pointer to the message to be trimmed.


     len    The number of bytes to be removed.


DESCRIPTION
     The adjmsg() function removes bytes from  a  message.  |len|
     (the absolute value of len) specifies the number of bytes to
     be removed. The adjmsg() function only  trims  bytes  across
     message blocks of the same type.


     The adjmsg() function finds the maximal leading sequence  of
     message  blocks  of  the  same type as that of mp and starts
     removing bytes either  from the head  of  that  sequence  or
     from  the  tail  of that sequence. If len is greater than 0,
     adjmsg() removes bytes from the start of the  first  message
     block  in  that  sequence. If len is less than 0, it removes
     bytes from the  end  of  the  last  message  block  in  that
     sequence.


     The adjmsg() function fails if |len|  is  greater  than  the
     number of bytes in the maximal leading sequence it finds.


     The adjmsg() function may remove any except the first  zero-
     length  message  block created during adjusting. It may also
     remove any zero-length message blocks that occur within  the
     scope of |len|.

RETURN VALUES
     The adjmsg() function returns:

     1    Successful completion.
