Several users need to create segments of shared memory. Duplicate keys
must be avoided.
Does '(valid) usage of ftok()' guaranty that?

It seems that the following actions should be done:
A1) Create some file (and not delete it),
A2) Generate key with using ftok().

The questions:
Q1) Should somebody manage naming and creating such files?
Q2) Are there any (underwater) reefs while using ftok()?
