The Linux version does not support the POSIX \fB\-a\fP, \fB\-b\fP and \fB\-o\fP options, but does support the \fB\-l\fP and \fB\-u\fP options not defined by POSIX. A portable application shall not use the \fB\-a\fP, \fB\-b\fP, \fB\-o\fP, \fB\-l\fP, and \fB\-u\fP options. +.SH "NOTES" +.sp +The current implementation of \fBipcs\fP obtains information about available IPC resources by parsing the files in \fI/proc/sysvipc\fP. Before util\-linux version v2.23, an alternate mechanism was used: the \fBIPC_STAT\fP command of \fBmsgctl\fP(2), \fBsemctl\fP(2), and \fBshmctl\fP(2). This mechanism is also used in later util\-linux versions in the case where \fI/proc\fP is unavailable. A limitation of the \fBIPC_STAT\fP mechanism is that it can only be used to retrieve information about IPC resources for which the user has read permission. +.SH "AUTHORS" +.sp +.MTO "balasub\(atcis.ohio\-state.edu" "Krishna Balasubramanian" "" +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.sp +\fBipcmk\fP(1), +\fBipcrm\fP(1), +\fBmsgrcv\fP(2), +\fBmsgsnd\fP(2), +\fBsemget\fP(2), +\fBsemop\fP(2), +\fBshmat\fP(2), +\fBshmdt\fP(2), +\fBshmget\fP(2), +\fBsysvipc\fP(7) +.SH "REPORTING BUGS" +.sp +For bug reports, use the issue tracker at \c +.URL "https://github.com/util\-linux/util\-linux/issues" "" "." +.SH "AVAILABILITY" +.sp +The \fBipcs\fP command is part of the util\-linux package which can be downloaded from \c +.URL "https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util\-linux/" "Linux Kernel Archive" "."
