IPC::Msg - SysV Msg IPC object class

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN #
A class providing an object based interface to SysV IPC message queues.
MMEETTHHOODDSS #
new ( KEY , FLAGS )
Creates a new message queue associated with "KEY". A new queue is
created if
• "KEY" is equal to "IPC_PRIVATE"
• "KEY" does not already have a message queue associated with it,
and "_F_L_A_G_S & IPC_CREAT" is true.
On creation of a new message queue "FLAGS" is used to set the
permissions. Be careful not to set any flags that the Sys V IPC
implementation does not allow: in some systems setting execute bits
makes the operations fail.
id Returns the system message queue identifier.
rcv ( BUF, LEN [, TYPE [, FLAGS ]] )
Read a message from the queue. Returns the type of the message read.
See mmssggrrccvv(2). The BUF becomes tainted.
remove
Remove and destroy the message queue from the system.
set ( STAT )
set ( NAME => VALUE [, NAME => VALUE ...] )
"set" will set the following values of the "stat" structure
associated with the message queue.
uid
gid
mode (oly the permission bits)
qbytes
"set" accepts either a stat object, as returned by the "stat" method,
or a list of _n_a_m_e-_v_a_l_u_e pairs.
snd ( TYPE, MSG [, FLAGS ] )
Place a message on the queue with the data from "MSG" and with type
"TYPE". See mmssggssnndd(2).
stat
Returns an object of type "IPC::Msg::stat" which is a sub-class of
"Class::Struct". It provides the following fields. For a description
of these fields see you system documentation.
uid
gid
cuid
cgid
mode
qnum
qbytes
lspid
lrpid
stime
rtime
ctime
