Structure Description:

    This structure defines the permission information for an IPC shared object.

Members:

    uid - Stores the owner's user ID.

    gid - Stores the owner's group ID.

    cuid - Stores the creator's user ID.

    cgid - Stores the creator's group ID.

    mode - Stores the permission bits.

Routine Description:

    This routine uses the identify of the given file and the least significant
    8 bits of the given project identifier to create a key suitable for use in
    the shmget, semget, or msgget functions.

Arguments:

    Path - Supplies a pointer to the path to the file whose identity should be
        involved in the key ID.

    ProjectId - Supplies an identifier whose least significant 8 bits will be
        worked into the result.

Return Value:

    Returns a key value suitable for use as a parameter to shmget, semget, or
    msgget.

    -1 on error, and errno will be set to the stat error information for the
    given file path.
