Is there an ipc option to get the last message in message queue but not removing it?
I want this to allow many clients reading same messages from the same server..
Edit:
Server and clients are on the same machine!
Thanks

I don’t believe there is any way to do that using either system v or POSIX message queues. Furthermore, AFAIK neither API allows you to send messages to a remote machine, so unless your clients are running on the same host as the server, you will need to use a higher-level technology.
