Hi all. I was wondering why we have a struct mymsg in <sys/msg.h>, when many utilities defined their own version of it. I am curious about this because our stock version of struct mymsg: struct mymsg { long mtype; /* message type */ char mtext[1]; /* message body */ }; Why do we have a value of [1] in the mtext array? Are we meant to define a struct mymsg at all!? Thanks.
