/* This file is part of the sample code and exercises

* <jschauma@netmeister.org> at Stevens Institute of
* Technology.

/* A simple program to illustrate the use of Message
* Queues.
*
* Note that message queues continue to exist after
* all processes have terminated; messages continue to
* remain in the queues as well. This is desired, but
* requires that processes clean up after themselves
* when they are done using the queues.
*
* Note that in this example we manually specify the
* key instead of using ftok(2).
*
* Use msgsend.c to create/send messages, then run
* this tool to retrieve them (in order). Note that
* msgrecv will block if no messages are in the queue.
*
* Use ipcs(1) to inspect the usage.
*
* Derived from:
* https://users.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave.Marshall/C/node25.html
