Urgent!!!! - Write/read to/from shared memory
I created a shared memory and attached it. I also created the appropriate semaphores to sync. my read/write operations. However I do not know how am I supposed to do so. Anyone has got any ideas? I want to write int the form of 1234:23:444:... where each number between : means something to the user. I also want to be able to read whole parts between : and not the whole string. Please guys i really need some help here. Thnaks in advance Smilie

ipcs

IPCS(1) 						    BSD General Commands Manual 						   IPCS(1)

NAME

     ipcs -- report System V interprocess communication facilities status

SYNOPSIS

     ipcs [-abcMmopQqSsTt]

DESCRIPTION

     The ipcs utility provides information on System V interprocess communication (IPC) facilities on the system.

     The options are as follows:

     -a      Show the maximum amount of information possible when displaying active semaphores, message queues, and shared memory segments.  (This
	     is shorthand for specifying the -b, -c, -o, -p, and -t options.)

     -b      Show the maximum allowed sizes for active semaphores, message queues, and shared memory segments.	The ``maximum allowed size'' is
	     the maximum number of bytes in a message on a message queue, the size of a shared memory segment, or the number of semaphores in a
	     set of semaphores.

     -c      Show the creator's name and group for active semaphores, message queues, and shared memory segments.

     -M      Display system information about shared memory.

     -m      Display information about active shared memory segments.

     -o      Show outstanding usage for active message queues, and shared memory segments.  The ``outstanding usage'' is the number of messages in
	     a message queue, or the number of processes attached to a shared memory segment.

     -p      Show the process ID information for active semaphores, message queues, and shared memory segments.  The ``process ID information'' is
	     the last process to send a message to or receive a message from a message queue, the process that created a semaphore, or the last
	     process to attach or detach a shared memory segment.

     -Q      Display system information about messages queues.

     -q      Display information about active message queues.

     -S      Display system information about semaphores.

     -s      Display information about active semaphores.

     -T      Display system information about shared memory, message queues and semaphores.

     -t      Show access times for active semaphores, message queues, and shared memory segments.  The access times is the time of the last con-
	     trol operation on an IPC object, the last send or receive of a message, the last attach or detach of a shared memory segment, or the
	     last operation on a semaphore.

     If none of the -M, -m, -Q, -q, -S, or -s options are specified, information about all active IPC facilities is listed.

RESTRICTIONS

     System data structures may change while ipcs is running; the output of ipcs is not guaranteed to be consistent.

BUGS

     This manual page is woefully incomplete, because it does not at all attempt to explain the information printed by ipcs.
