/****************************************************************************
 * Name: ftok
 *
 * Description:
 *   Convert a pathname and a project identifier to a System V IPC key.
 *   The ftok() function uses the identity of the file named by the given
 *   pathname (which must refer to an existing, accessible file) and the
 *   least significant 8 bits of proj_id (which must be nonzero) to
 *   generate a key_t type System V IPC key, suitable for use with
 *   msgget(2), semget(2), or shmget(2).
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   pathname - identity of the file name
 *   proj_id  - The value that uniquely project identifies.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   On success, the generated key_t value is returned.
 *   On failure -1 is returned, with errno indicating the error as for the
 *   stat(2) system call.
