NAME

       sys/ipc.h - XSI interprocess communication access structure

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/ipc.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The  <sys/ipc.h>  header is used by three mechanisms for XSI interprocess communication (IPC): messages, semaphores, and shared memory. All
       use a common structure type, ipc_perm, to pass information used in determining permission to perform an IPC operation.

       The ipc_perm structure shall contain the following members:

	      uid_t    uid    Owner's user ID.
	      gid_t    gid    Owner's group ID.
	      uid_t    cuid   Creator's user ID.
	      gid_t    cgid   Creator's group ID.
	      mode_t   mode   Read/write permission.

       The uid_t, gid_t, mode_t, and key_t types shall be defined as described in <sys/types.h> .

       Definitions shall be provided for the following constants:

       Mode bits:

       IPC_CREAT
	      Create entry if key does not exist.

       IPC_EXCL
	      Fail if key exists.

       IPC_NOWAIT
	      Error if request must wait.

       Keys:

       IPC_PRIVATE
	      Private key.

       Control commands:

       IPC_RMID
	      Remove identifier.

       IPC_SET
	      Set options.

       IPC_STAT
	      Get options.

       The following shall be declared as a function and may also be defined as a macro. A function prototype shall be provided.

	      key_t  ftok(const char *, int);
