That page doesn't answer the question at all. We still have no idea what "key_t" is (well, I do, but that's only because I already did). The man page sucks, honestly.

key_t is just a number.

Hi ,

from previous replys, i cant assign any name to message queue ? i will assign only integer value as key?

i cant assign like msgget("name1",IPC_CREATE);

please post your suggestions

"The msgget() function returns the message queue identifier associated with key. A message queue identifier and an associated message queue and data structure are created if key is equal to IPC_PRIVATE"

Sorry! My ungodly intuition sees AN INTEGER here in the first sentence...
