=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
