消息队列提供了一种一个进程向另一个进程发送一个数据块的方法。消息队列与管道不同的是,消息队列是基于消息的,而管道是基于字节流的。
消息队列的创建或取得一个已存在的消息队列:
     int msgget(key_t key,int msgflag);
其中的参数:
        key: 由ftok函数生成;
        msgflag:
        IPC_CREAT:如果ipc不存在,则创建一个ipc资源,否则直接打开
        IPC_EXCL:本身没有太大的意义,只有和 IPC_CREAT一起使用,可以用来保证所得的对象是新建的,而不是打开已有的对象.


    下面是一个用消息队列实现的简单的服务端,客户端简单的收发消息的程序,具体看看他们的用法。

上面程序的运行结果:
            基于消息队列的双向通信_第1张图片


                                                                                                                                                           
     从而实现了简单的收发消息的功能。
