Description

A class that wraps XSI (System V) key_t type. This type calculates key_t from path and id using ftok or sets key to IPC_PRIVATE using the default constructor.

`xsi_key` public construct/copy/destruct

```
xsi_key();
```
Default constructor. Represents a private xsi_key.
```
xsi_key(const char * path, boost::uint8_t id);
```
Creates a new XSI shared memory with a key obtained from a call to ftok (with path "path" and id "id"), of size "size" and permissions "perm". If the shared memory previously exists, throws an error.

`xsi_key` public member functions

```
key_t get_key() const;
```
Returns the internal key_t value.
