QNMSG - Number on queue

Counter of the number of messages on the queue. When this is zero the queue is empty.

QALLOC - Number of allocated messages

This field is used in the free queue header to keep track of the number of buffer segments allocated for ZCOM subsystem use. A value of zero means that no buffers have been allocated for use by the ZCOM subsystem. A large value indicates heavy usage of the buffer pool.

QLIMIT - Queue limit

The maximum number of messages or bytes that may be linked to this queue. If the ZCOM_QFLAG_BLT bit in qflag is not set, this field is a limit on the number of messages. Otherwise, this value is a limit on the number of bytes that can be linked to this queue. The default queue limit
