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.
Regards.
