.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBinsq()\fR function inserts a message into a queue. The message to be inserted, \fInmp\fR, is placed in \fIq\fR immediately before the message \fIemp\fR. If \fIemp\fR is \fINULL\fR, the new message is placed at the end of the queue. The queue class of the new message is ignored. All flow control parameters are updated. The service procedure is enabled unless \fBQNOENB\fR is set.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The \fBinsq()\fR function returns \fB1\fR on success, and \fB0\fR on failure.
.SH CONTEXT
.sp
.LP
The \fBinsq()\fR function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context.
.SH EXAMPLES
.sp
.LP
This routine illustrates the steps a transport provider may take to place expedited data ahead of normal data on a queue (assume all \fBM_DATA\fR messages are converted into \fBM_PROTO T_DATA_REQ\fR messages). Normal \fBT_DATA_REQ\fR messages are just placed on the end of the queue (line 16). However, expedited \fBT_EXDATA_REQ\fR messages are inserted before any normal messages already on the queue (line 25). If there are no normal messages on the queue, \fBbp\fR will be \fINULL\fR and we fall out of the \fBfor\fR loop (line 21). \fBinsq\fR acts like \fBputq\fR(9F) in this case.

.LP
When using \fBinsq()\fR, you must ensure that the queue and the message block is not modified by another thread at the same time. You can achieve this either by using STREAMS functions or by implementing your own locking.

If \fIemp\fR is non-\fINULL\fR, it must point to a message on \fIq\fR or a system panic could result.
