How To Deal With the msgget() Issue and "Function not implemented" and
Cygwin Server
1. Download the "*cygrunsrv*" binaries using "setup-x86_64.exe". Search
for it at the DLL page. Download 1.64-1. Now you have Cygwin Server.
This is usually not mentioned.
2. Run Cygwin as administrator. This is usually not mentioned.
3. Start the Cygwin server with "*net start cygserver*". It should say
"The CYGWIN cygserver service is starting.
The CYGWIN cygserver service was started successfully.". You have to
google this. It is not on the instruction page for some reason.
4. Run the program. It should work now.

Hi Cygwin,
May I ask if there will be an implementation of msgget() on Cygwin for
Windows?
There is, for ages. However, you have to run cygserver for that
to work:

If cygserver isn't running, the XSI IPC functions return ENOSYS.
Alternatively, convert your tool to using POSIX message queues, those
are using a file backed solution and don't require cygserver.
