!!!Not a data message
-
-er, no idea what this might be. Could someone please describe it?
The linux kernel itself appears to never generate this error message.
+
+The POSIX standard says:
+
+[EBADMSG]
+ Bad message. During a read( ), getmsg( ), getpmsg( ), or ioctl( ) I_RECVFD request to a
+ STREAMS device, a message arrived at the head of the STREAM that is inappropriate for
+ the function receiving the message.
+ read( ) Message waiting to be read on a STREAM is not a data message.
