ftok ( string $pathname , string $proj )
手册上给出的解释是：Convert a pathname and a project identifier to a System V IPC key。这个函数返回的键值唯一对应linux系统中一个消息队列。在获得消息队列的引用之前都需要调用这个函数。
msg_get_queue ( int $key [, int $perms ] )
msg_get_queue()会根据传入的键值返回一个消息队列的引用。如果linux系统中没有消息队列与键值对应，msg_get_queue()将会创建一个新的消息队列。函数的第二个参数需要传入一个int值，作为新创建的消息队列的权限值，默认为0666。这个权限值与linux命令chmod中使用的数值是同一个意思，因为在linux系统中一切皆是文件。
msg_send ( resource $queue , int $msgtype , mixed $message [, bool $serialize [, bool $blocking [, int &$errorcode ]]] )
顾名思义，该函数用来向消息队列中写数据。
msg_stat_queue ( resource $queue )
这个函数会返回消息队列的元数据。消息队列元数据中的信息很完整，包括了消息队列中待读取的消息数、最后读写队列的进程ID等。示例代码在第8行调用该函数返回的数组中队列中待读取的消息数msg_qnum值为0。
msg_receive ( resource $queue , int $desiredmsgtype , int &$msgtype , int $maxsize , mixed &$message [, bool $unserialize [, int $flags [, int &$errorcode ]]] )
msg_receive用于读取消息队列中的数据。
msg_remove_queue ( resource $queue )
msg_remove_queue用于销毁一个队列。

} elseif ($pids[$i] == 0) {
