ipcrm - Removes message queue, semaphore set, or shared memory identifiers SYNOPSIS
ipcrm [-m shared_memory] [-M shared_memory_key] [-q message_queue] [-Q message_key] [-s semaphore_ID] [-S semaphore_key] The ipcrm command removes one or more message queue, semaphore set, or shared memory identifiers. STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows: ipcrm: XCU5.0 Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags. OPTIONS
Removes the shared memory identifier shared_memory. The shared memory segment and data structure associated with shared_memory are also removed after the last detach operation. Removes the shared memory identifier, created with key shared_memory_key. The shared memory seg- ment and data structure associated with it are also removed after the last detach. Removes the message queue identifier message_queue and the message queue and data structure associated with it. Removes the message queue identifier, created with key message_key, and the mes- sage queue and data structure associated with it. Removes the semaphore identifier semaphore_ID and the set of semaphores and data struc- ture associated with it. Removes the semaphore identifier, created with key semaphore_key, and the set of semaphores and data structure associated with it. DESCRIPTION
The details of the remove operations are described in the Section 2 reference pages for msgctl(), shmctl(), and semctl(). The identifiers and keys can be found by using the ipcs command. EXAMPLES
To remove the shared memory segment associated with shared memory identifier 18602, enter: ipcrm -m 18602 SEE ALSO

ipcrm - remove a message queue, semaphore set, or shared memory ID SYNOPSIS
ipcrm [-z zone] [-m shmid] [-q msqid] [-s semid] [-M shmkey] [-Q msgkey] [-S semkey] DESCRIPTION
ipcrm removes one or more messages, semaphores, or shared memory identifiers. OPTIONS
The following option is supported: -z zone Keys specified by other options refer to facilities in the specified zone (see zones(5)). The default is the zone in which the command is executing. This option is only useful when the command is executed in the global zone. The identifiers are specified by the following options: -m shmid Removes the shared memory identifier shmid from the system. The shared memory segment and data structure associated with it are destroyed after the last detach. -q msqid Removes the message queue identifier msqid from the system and destroys the message queue and data structure associated with it. -s semid Removes the semaphore identifier semid from the system and destroys the set of semaphores and data structure associated with it. -M shmkey Removes the shared memory identifier, created with key shmkey, from the system. The shared memory segment and data struc- ture associated with it are destroyed after the last detach. -Q msgkey Removes the message queue identifier, created with key msgkey, from the system and destroys the message queue and data structure associated with it. -S semkey Removes the semaphore identifier, created with key semkey, from the system and destroys the set of semaphores and data structure associated with it. The details of the removes are described in msgctl(2), shmctl(2), and semctl(2). Use the ipcs command to find the identifiers and keys. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
