ipcrmidexample

ipcrmidexample is a placeholder name often used in documentation or examples to illustrate the usage of inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms in programming, particularly those involving message queues identified by integer IDs. It does not represent a specific, real-world software component or library.

When developers encounter "ipcrmidexample," it typically signifies a context where they are learning or demonstrating how to create, send to, or receive from a message queue. The "id" part refers to the unique numerical identifier assigned to a particular message queue by the operating system. This ID is crucial for processes to locate and interact with the correct queue.

The term might appear in code snippets, tutorials, or API documentation explaining functions like `msgget`, `msgsnd`, `msgrcv`, or `msgctl` found in POSIX IPC systems. For instance, an example might show how to obtain an ID for a message queue (perhaps using a function that generates or retrieves an existing ID) and then use that ID to send or receive messages. The "example" suffix reinforces that the specific ID used is not intended for production but rather for illustrative purposes. Its actual value would vary depending on the system and the specific queue being targeted.
