resource msg_get_queue (int $key, int $perms)

Arguments

• key - Message queue numeric ID
• perms - Queue permissions. Default to 0666. If the message queue already exists, the perms will be ignored.

Description

A second call to msg_get_queue() for the same key will return a different message queue identifier, but both identifiers access the same underlying message queue.
