msg_get_queue

Description

resource msg_get_queue ( int key [, int perms] )

msg_get_queue() returns an id that can be used to access the System V message queue with the given key. The first call creates the message queue with the optional perms (default: 0666). A second call to msg_get_queue() for the same key will return a different message queue identifier, but both identifiers access the same underlying message queue. If the message queue already exists, the perms will be ignored.

// Here is an example of working with message queues.

// if you have forked processes, this could be a great way of passing

// out work to them



// create the message queue

// pick a file..

    // lets look at the queue structure 'msg_qnum' is really what we want to see

    // it should be '2'
