/** @fn  ftok(const char *pathname, int proj_id)
@param pathname
@param proj_id
@return   The ftok function will return -1 if pathname does not exist or if it cannot be accessed by the calling process.
On  success  the  generated key_t value is returned.

  The ftok function attempts to create a unique key suitable for use with the msgget , semget and shmget functions given the pathname of an existing file and a user-selectable id.

 The specified pathname must specify an existing file that is accessible to the calling process
or the call will fail.
Also, note that links to files will return the
same key, given the same id.

Examples:
@code
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    char *pathame = "C:\XXX";
    int proj_id = 100;
    key_t fkey;
    if ((fkey = ftok(pathame, proj_id)) == -1) {
        printf("ftok() failed
");
    }
    return 0;
}
