+msgmni
+------
+
+Maximum number of message queue ids on the system.
+This value scales to the amount of lowmem. It is automatically recomputed
+upon memory add/remove or ipc namespace creation/removal.
+When a value is written into this file, msgmni's value becomes fixed, i.e. it
+is not recomputed anymore when one of the above events occurs.
+Use auto_msgmni to change this behavior.
