It looks like the POSIX IPC APIs use a unique name to identify a resource. It has to start with a "/" but it's not really a path.
Though it looks like it wouldn't be a simple drop-in replacement to move to POSIX IPC though. For instance the message queue API doesn't have the type field. Probably doable, but maybe it's worth looking at something completely different 😄 (I have some ideas, but need try implementing them to see how well it would fit)
Maybe POSIX IPC has something. If so maybe the libraries could rewritten using that. Maybe we should get off system V anyway. Maybe POSIX would give us longer message queues (or is having these smallish better anyway).
