    <para>
     <function>msg_get_queue</function> returns an id that can be used to
     access the System V message queue with the given
     <parameter>key</parameter>. The first call creates the message queue with
     the optional <parameter>perms</parameter> (default: 0666).
     A second call to <function>msg_get_queue</function> for the same
     <parameter>key</parameter> will return a different message queue
     identifier, but both identifiers access the same underlying message
     queue.
     If the message queue already exists, the <parameter>perms</parameter>
     will be ignored.
