NAME
     putctl1 - send a control message with a  one-byte  parameter
     to a queue

SYNOPSIS
     #include 



     int putctl1(queue_t *q, int type, int p);


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

PARAMETERS
     q       Queue to which the message is to be sent.


     type    Type of message.


     p       One-byte parameter.


DESCRIPTION
     The putctl1() function,  like  putctl(9F),  tests  the  type
     argument  to  make  sure a data type has not been specified,
     and attempts to allocate a message block.  The  p  parameter
     can be used, for example, to specify how long the delay will
     be when an M_DELAY message is being sent. putctl1() fails if
     type is M_DATA, M_PROTO, or M_PCPROTO, or if a message block
     cannot be allocated.  If  successful,  putctl1()  calls  the
     put(9E)  routine of the queue pointed to by q with the newly
     allocated and initialized message.

RETURN VALUES
     On success, 1 is returned. 0 is returned if type is  a  data
     type, or if a message block cannot be allocated.

CONTEXT
     The putctl1() function can be called from  user,  interrupt,
     or kernel context.

EXAMPLES
     See  the  putctl(9F)  function  page  for  an   example   of
     putctl1().
