By default it shows information about all three resources: shared memory segments, message queues, and semaphore arrays. + +== OPTIONS + +*-i*, *--id* _id_:: +Show full details on just the one resource element identified by _id_. This option needs to be combined with one of the three resource options: *-m*, *-q* or *-s*. + +include::man-common/help-version.adoc[] + +=== Resource options + +*-m*, *--shmems*:: +Write information about active shared memory segments. + +*-q*, *--queues*:: +Write information about active message queues. + +*-s*, *--semaphores*:: +Write information about active semaphore sets. + +*-a*, *--all*:: +Write information about all three resources (default). + +=== Output formats + +Of these options only one takes effect: the last one specified. + +*-c*, *--creator*:: +Show creator and owner. + +*-l*, *--limits*:: +Show resource limits. + +*-p*, *--pid*:: +Show PIDs of creator and last operator. + +*-t*, *--time*:: +Write time information. The time of the last control operation that changed the access permissions for all facilities, the time of the last *msgsnd*(2) and *msgrcv*(2) operations on message queues, the time of the last *shmat*(2) and *shmdt*(2) operations on shared memory, and the time of the last *semop*(2) operation on semaphores. + +*-u*, *--summary*:: +Show status summary. + +=== Representation + +These affect only the *-l* (*--limits*) option. + +*-b*, *--bytes*:: +include::man-common/in-bytes.adoc[] + + +*--human*:: +Print sizes in human-readable format. + +== CONFORMING TO + +The Linux *ipcs* utility is not fully compatible to the POSIX *ipcs* utility. The Linux version does not support the POSIX *-a*, *-b* and *-o* options, but does support the *-l* and *-u* options not defined by POSIX. A portable application shall not use the *-a*, *-b*, *-o*, *-l*, and *-u* options. + +== NOTES + +The current implementation of *ipcs* obtains information about available IPC resources by parsing the files in _/proc/sysvipc_. Before util-linux version v2.23, an alternate mechanism was used: the *IPC_STAT* command of *msgctl*(2), *semctl*(2), and *shmctl*(2). This mechanism is also used in later util-linux versions in the case where _/proc_ is unavailable. A limitation of the *IPC_STAT* mechanism is that it can only be used to retrieve information about IPC resources for which the user has read permission. + +== AUTHORS + +mailto:balasub@cis.ohio-state.edu[Krishna Balasubramanian] + +== SEE ALSO + +*ipcmk*(1), +*ipcrm*(1), +*msgrcv*(2), +*msgsnd*(2), +*semget*(2), +*semop*(2), +*shmat*(2), +*shmdt*(2), +*shmget*(2), +*sysvipc*(7) + +include::man-common/bugreports.adoc[] + +include::man-common/footer.adoc[] + +ifdef::translation[] +include::man-common/translation.adoc[] +endif::[] -- cgit v1.2.3
