  <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>.
   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.
