msgget

See the current Perl documentation for msgget.

Here is our local, out-dated (pre-5.6) version:


msgget - get SysV IPC message queue



msgget KEY,FLAGS



Calls the System V IPC function msgget(2). Returns the message queue id, or the undefined value if there is an error. See also IPC::SysV and IPC::SysV::Msg documentation.
