+.SH EXAMPLE
+The program below demonstrates the use of
+.BR msgsnd ()
+and
+.BR msgrcv ().
+
+The example program is first run with the \fB\-s\fP option to send a
+message and then run again with the \fB-r\fP option to receive a
+message.
+
+The following shell session shows a sample run of the program:
