This marked segment will be destroyed after the last detach. -m shmid Mark the shared memory segment associated with id shmid for removal. This marked segment will be destroyed after the last detach. -Q msgkey Remove the message queue associated with key msgkey from the system. -q msqid Remove the message queue associated with the id msqid from the system. -S semkey Remove the semaphore set associated with key semkey from the system. -s semid Removes the semaphore set associated with id semid from the system.
