The old Linux historical syntax specifies +a three-letter keyword indicating which class of object is to be deleted, +followed by one or more IPC identifiers for objects of this type. +.PP +The SUS-compliant syntax allows the specification of +zero or more objects of all three types in a single command line, +with objects specified either by key or by identifier (see below). +Both keys and identifiers may be specified in decimal, hexadecimal +(specified with an initial '0x' or '0X'), or octal (specified with +an initial '0'). +.PP +The details of the removes are described in +.BR shmctl (2), +.BR msgctl (2), +and +.BR semctl (2). +The identifiers and keys can be found by using +.BR ipcs (1). +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB-a\fR, \fB\-\-all\fR [\fBshm\fR] [\fBmsg\fR] [\fBsem\fR] +Remove all resources.
