9.7. Create Command

The QMF create command takes five arguments:
type
The type of object to be created, this can be a queue, exchange or binding.
name
The name of the object to be created. The name argument of a queue or exchange is a single value, for example a queue named my-queue sets the name argument to a string of that value. The name of a binding uses the pattern exchange/queue/key, for example: amq.topic/my-queue/my-key identifies a binding between my-queue and the exchange amq.topic with the binding key my-key.
properties
The specific properties for the object to be created, value is a nested map.
strict
The strict argument takes a boolean value that is presently ignored. This value is intended to indicate whether the command will fail if any unrecognized properties have been specified.
auto_delete_timeout
Optional. If specified upon first declaring an auto-delete queue, specifies a delay, in seconds, after which the deletion will take place. Note: If the queue is re-declared after becoming eligible for deletion, but before the delay expires, then the queue will be not be deleted.
The following code example uses QMF to create a queue named my-queue. In this example my-queue is configured to be auto-deleted after 10 seconds.
