Storing multiple items in C array

What would be a best and simple way of storing incoming message from different processes in an array in C? I was thinking to have an array MQ but also need to store message sequence numbers and process ids for each incoming message. Thanks.

It sounds like you want to have an array of structures that contain the various elements that you want to store, e.g.

struct MessageInfo {
  int message_id;
  pid_t incoming_pid;
  char message_data[MAX_MESSAGE_LEN];
};

struct MessageInfo message_queue[MAX_QUEUE_LEN];
