function ftok( |

ftok returns a key that can be used in a semgetshmget or msgget call to access a new or existing IPC resource.
Path is the name of a file in the file system, ID is a character of your choice. The ftok call does the same as it's C couterpart, so a pascal program and a C program will access the same resource if they use the same Path and ID
For an example, see msgctl, semctl or shmctl.
ftok returns -1 if the file in Path doesn't exist.
