ipc.h(3HEAD) Headers ipc.h(3HEAD)NAME
ipc.h, ipc - XSI interprocess communication access structure
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/ipc.h>
DESCRIPTION
The <sys/ipc.h> header is used by three mechanisms for 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 contains 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 are defined as described in <sys/types.h>. See types.h(3HEAD).
Definitions are provided for the constants listed below.
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.

Hi, so I've got this program("main") that fork executes another ("user"). These programs communicate through fifos.
One communication is a spawn call, where user passes an executable, main forks and executes it. So, I'm keeping track of all my processes using a task table. After the fork (for... (6 Replies)
Hello,
My question is related to "pipcs -qa" command under HP-UX 11i PA-RISC 64 bits.

hey everyone,
I'm reading a tutorial on the Mach kernel principles, however, the port and port rights part are kind of confusing to me. I don't know if the book has typos or something but it seems a bit contradictory. It says that "ports, themselves, are not named. It is the port rights that are"... (10 Replies)
I'm doing some integrity checeking. I Have found if the file contains an "invalid" entry (Zipcode +4). What I'm looking to do is modify the data so that it's just the 5 digit zipcode. I found a couple of helpful posts, but nothing that I could apply to my situation.

Greetings:
I am posting this because my searches for this problem only came up with two posts and no helpful suggestions. I have a "solution" (read work-around hack) and have not tried yet to find a root cause, and may never because I am busy doing other things (read working to pay the bills).
