Few can deny the immediate benefit of having accurate technical information readily available.
|
|
Such materials provide a tremendous mechanism for learning and exploring new areas. On the
|
|
same note, having real world examples to accompany any technical information will speed up
|
|
and reinforce the learning process.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Until now, the only useful examples which have been presented were the wrapper functions for
|
|
manipulating message queues. While they are extremely useful, they have not been presented in
|
|
a manner which would warrant further study and experimentation. To remedy this, you will be
|
|
presented with <EM>msgtool</EM>, an interactive command line utility for manipulating IPC message
|
|
queues. While it certainly functions as an adequate tool for education reinforcement, it can
|
|
be applied directly into real world assignments, by providing message queue functionality via
|
|
standard shell scripts.
