How is message queue implemented in Linux?
Linux maintains a list of message queues, the msgque vector; each element of which points to a msqid_ds data structure which fully describes the message queue. When message queues are created a new msqid_ds data structure is allocate from system memory and inserted into the vector.
How are messaging queues implemented?
Message queues implement an asynchronous communication pattern between two or more processes/threads whereby the sending and receiving party do not need to interact with the message queue at the same time. Messages placed onto the queue are stored until the recipient retrieves them.
What is a message queue in Linux?
A message queue is a linked list of messages stored within the kernel and identified by a message queue identifier. A new queue is created or an existing queue opened by msgget().

How do I clear the message queue in Linux?

How to add new messages to a message queue?
A message queue is a linked list of messages stored within the kernel and identified by a message queue identifier. A new queue is created or an existing queue opened by msgget () . New messages are added to the end of a queue by msgsnd ().
How does the sending process access the queue?
The sending process places a message (via some (OS) message-passing module) onto a queue which can be read by another process. Each message is given an identification or type so that processes can select the appropriate message. Process must share a common key in order to gain access to the queue in the first place.
How is a message queue defined in msgget?
A message queue is a linked list of messages stored within the kernel and identified by a message queue identifier. A new queue is created or an existing queue opened by msgget ().
How are message queues used in an IPC?
The sending process places a message (via some (OS) message-passing module) onto a queue which can be read by another process. Each message is given an identification or type so that processes can select the appropriate message.
