43: .Sh DESCRIPTION
44: The
45: .Nm ipcs
46: program provides information on System V interprocess communication
47: (IPC) facilities on the system.
48: .Pp
49: The options are as follows:
50: .Bl -tag -width Ds
51: .It Fl a
52: Show the maximum amount of information possible when
53: displaying active semaphores, message queues,
54: and shared memory segments.
55: (This is shorthand for specifying the
56: .Fl b ,
57: .Fl c ,
58: .Fl o ,
59: .Fl p ,
60: and
61: .Fl t
62: options.)
63: .It Fl b
64: Show the maximum allowed sizes for active semaphores, message queues,
65: and shared memory segments. The
66: .Dq maximum allowed size
67: is the maximum number of bytes in a message on a message queue,
68: the size of a shared memory segment,
69: or the number number of semaphores in a set of semaphores.
70: .It Fl c
71: Show the creator's name and group for active semaphores, message queues,
72: and shared memory segments.
73: .It Fl m
74: Display information about active shared memory segments.
75: .It Fl o
76: Show outstanding usage for active message queues,
77: and shared memory segments. The
78: .Dq outstanding usage
79: is the number of messages in a message queue, or the number
80: of processes attached to a shared memory segment.
81: .It Fl p
82: Show the process ID information for active semaphores, message queues,
83: and shared memory segments. The
84: .Dq process ID information
85: is the last process to send a message to or receive a message from
86: a message queue,
87: the process that created a semaphore, or the last process to attach
88: or detach a shared memory segment.
89: .It Fl q
90: Display information about active message queues.
91: .It Fl s
92: Display information about active semaphores.
93: .It Fl t
94: Show access times for active semaphores, message queues,
95: and shared memory segments. The access times is the time
96: of the last control operation on an IPC object,
97: the last send or receive of a message,
98: the last attach or detach of a shared memory segment,
99: or the last operation on a semaphore.
100: .It Fl C Ar system
101: Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the
102: default
1.3 ccappuc 103: .Dq Pa /bsd .
1.1 deraadt 104: .It Fl M
105: Display system information about shared memory.
106: .It Fl N Ar core
107: Extract values associated with the name list from the specified
108: core instead of the default
109: .Dq Pa /dev/kmem .
110: .It Fl Q
111: Display system information about messages queues.
112: .It Fl S
113: Display system information about semaphores.
114: .It Fl T
115: Display system information about shared memory, message queues
116: .El

118: If none of the
119: .Fl M ,
120: .Fl m ,
121: .Fl Q ,
122: .Fl q ,
123: .Fl S ,
124: or
125: .Fl s
126: options are specified, information about all active IPC facilities is
127: listed.
128: .Sh RESTRICTIONS
129: System data structures may change while
130: .Nm ipcs
131: is running; the output of
132: .Nm ipcs
133: is not guaranteed to be consistent.
134: .Sh BUGS
135: This manual page is woefully incomplete, because it does not
136: at all attempt to explain the information printed by
137: .Nm ipcs .
