.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn msgget
|
|
returns the message queue identifier associated with
|
|
.Fa key .
|
|
A message queue identifier is a unique integer greater than zero.
|
|
|
|
A message queue is created if either
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
is equal to IPC_PRIVATE, or
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
does not have a message queue identifier associated with it, and the IPC_CREAT
|
|
bit is set in
|
|
.Fa msgflg.
|
|
|
|
If a new message queue is created, the data structure associated with it (the
|
|
.Va msqid_ds
|
|
structure, see
|
|
.Xr msgctl 3 )
|
|
is initialized as follows:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va msg_perm.cuid
|
|
and
|
|
.Va msg_perm.uid
|
|
are set to the effective uid of the calling process.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va msg_perm.gid
|
|
and
|
|
.Va msg_perm.cgid
|
|
are set to the effective gid of the calling process.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va msg_perm.mode
|
|
is set to the lower 9 bits of
|
|
.Fa msgflg .

and
|
|
.Va msg_stime
|
|
are set to 0
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va msg_qbytes
|
|
is set to the system wide maximum value for the number of bytes in a queue
|
|
(MSGMNB).
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va msg_ctime
|
|
is set to the current time.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion a positive message queue identifier is returned.
|
|
Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|

|
|
and a message queue is already associated with
|

|
|
the number of message queues has been reached.
