Description:
------------
The documentation for the value of msg_qbytes returned in the array from msg_stat_queue() is incorrect: it states that msg_qbytes holds the number of bytes free in the queue, when msg_qbytes really represents the system maximum number of bytes per queue. Here is a correction:

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
