👉 Msgid engineering is a method used in Unix-like operating systems to manage and manipulate message identifiers, which are unique strings that represent messages sent between processes. It involves creating custom message formats by combining standard message fields with user-defined fields, allowing for the creation of more specific and informative messages. This technique is particularly useful for debugging and logging, as it enables developers to tag messages with additional context, such as process IDs, timestamps, or custom error codes, enhancing the clarity and utility of logs. By carefully crafting these messages, engineers can more easily trace the flow of execution and diagnose issues within complex systems.
