## msgget

    msgget key, flags

Calls the System V IPC `msgget` system call. See the `msgget` documentation on your system for details. The function returns the message queue ID, or the undefined value if there is an error. On error, it puts the error code into `$!`. Before calling, you should say:

>     require "ipc.ph";
>     require "msg.ph";

This function is available only on machines supporting System V IPC.
