NAME

msgctl - SysV IPC message control operations

SYNOPSIS

msgctl ID,CMD,ARG

DESCRIPTION

Calls the System V IPC function msgctl(2). You'll probably have to say

    use IPC::SysV;

first to get the correct constant definitions. If CMD is IPC_STAT, then ARG must be a variable that will hold the returned msqid_ds structure. Returns like ioctl: the undefined value for error, "0 but true" for zero, or the actual return value otherwise. See also SysV IPC in the perlipc manpage, IPC::SysV, and IPC::Semaphore documentation.
