=head1 NAME
IPC::Msg - SysV Msg IPC object class
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use IPC::SysV qw(IPC_PRIVATE S_IRWXU);
use IPC::Msg;
$msg = new IPC::Msg(IPC_PRIVATE, S_IRWXU);
$msg->snd(pack("l! a*",$msgtype,$msg));
$msg->rcv($buf,256);
$ds = $msg->stat;
$msg->remove;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
A class providing an object based interface to SysV IPC message queues.
=head1 METHODS
=over 4
=item new ( KEY , FLAGS )
Creates a new message queue associated with C<KEY>. A new queue is
created if
=over 4
=item *
C<KEY> is equal to C<IPC_PRIVATE>
=item *
C<KEY> does not already have a message queue
associated with it, and C<I<FLAGS> & IPC_CREAT> is true.
=back
On creation of a new message queue C<FLAGS> is used to set the
permissions.
=item id
Returns the system message queue identifier.
=item rcv ( BUF, LEN [, TYPE [, FLAGS ]] )
Read a message from the queue. Returns the type of the message read.
See L<msgrcv>. The BUF becomes tainted.
=item remove
Remove and destroy the message queue from the system.
=item set ( STAT )
=item set ( NAME => VALUE [, NAME => VALUE ...] )
C<set> will set the following values of the C<stat> structure associated
with the message queue.
uid
gid
mode (oly the permission bits)
qbytes
C<set> accepts either a stat object, as returned by the C<stat> method,
or a list of I<name>-I<value> pairs.
=item snd ( TYPE, MSG [, FLAGS ] )
Place a message on the queue with the data from C<MSG> and with type C<TYPE>.
See L<msgsnd>.
=item stat
Returns an object of type C<IPC::Msg::stat> which is a sub-class of
C<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
