+.SH NAME

+\(em report XSI interprocess communication facilities status
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+ipcs \fB[\fR-qms\fB] [\fR-a|-bcopt\fB]\fR
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.IR ipcs
+utility shall write information about active interprocess communication
+facilities.
+.P
+Without options, information shall be written in short format for
+message queues, shared memory segments, and semaphore sets that are
+currently active in the system. Otherwise, the information that is
+displayed is controlled by the options specified.
+.SH OPTIONS
+The
+.IR ipcs
+utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
+.IR "Section 12.2" ", " "Utility Syntax Guidelines".
+.P
+The
+.IR ipcs
+utility accepts the following options:
+.IP "\fB\-q\fP" 10
+Write information about active message queues.
+.IP "\fB\-m\fP" 10
+Write information about active shared memory segments.
+.IP "\fB\-s\fP" 10
+Write information about active semaphore sets.
+.P
+If
+.BR \-q ,
+.BR \-m ,
+or
+.BR \-s
+are specified, only information about those facilities shall be
+written. If none of these three are specified, information about all
+three shall be written subject to the following options:
+.IP "\fB\-a\fP" 10
+Use all print options. (This is a shorthand notation for
+.BR \-b ,
+.BR \-c ,
+.BR \-o ,
+.BR \-p ,
+and
+.BR \-t .)
+.IP "\fB\-b\fP" 10
+Write information on maximum allowable size. (Maximum number of bytes
+in messages on queue for message queues, size of segments for shared
+memory, and number of semaphores in each set for semaphores.)
+.IP "\fB\-c\fP" 10
+Write creator's user name and group name; see below.
+.IP "\fB\-o\fP" 10
+Write information on outstanding usage. (Number of messages on queue
+and total number of bytes in messages on queue for message queues, and
+number of processes attached to shared memory segments.)
+.IP "\fB\-p\fP" 10
+Write process number information. (Process ID of the last process to
+send a message and process ID of the last process to receive a message
+on message queues, process ID of the creating process, and process ID
+of the last process to attach or detach on shared memory segments.)
+.IP "\fB\-t\fP" 10
+Write time information. (Time of the last control operation that
+changed the access permissions for all facilities, time of the last
+\fImsgsnd\fR()
+and
+\fImsgrcv\fR()
+operations on message queues, time of the last
+\fIshmat\fR()
+and
+\fIshmdt\fR()
+operations on shared memory, and time of the last
+\fIsemop\fR()
+operation on semaphores.)
+.SH OPERANDS
+None.
+.SH STDIN
+Not used.
+.SH "INPUT FILES"
+.IP " *" 4
+The group database
+.IP " *" 4
+The user database
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
+The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
+.IR ipcs :
+.IP "\fILANG\fP" 10
+Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are
+unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
+.IR "Section 8.2" ", " "Internationalization Variables"
+for the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine
+the values of locale categories.)
+.IP "\fILC_ALL\fP" 10
+If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
+other internationalization variables.
+.IP "\fILC_CTYPE\fP" 10
+Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of
+text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
+multi-byte characters in arguments).
+.IP "\fILC_MESSAGES\fP" 10
+.br
+Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and
+contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
+.IP "\fINLSPATH\fP" 10
+Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of
+.IR LC_MESSAGES .
+.IP "\fITZ\fP" 10
+Determine the timezone for the date and time strings written by
+.IR ipcs .
+If
+.IR TZ
+is unset or null, an unspecified default timezone shall be used.
+.SH "ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS"
+Default.
+.SH STDOUT
+An introductory line shall be written with the format:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+"IPC status from %s as of %s\en", <\fIsource\fP>, <\fIdate\fP>
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+where <\fIsource\fP> indicates the source used to gather the statistics
+and <\fIdate\fP> is the information that would be produced by the
+.IR date
+command when invoked in the POSIX locale.
+.P
+The
+.IR ipcs
+utility then shall create up to three reports depending upon the
+.BR \-q ,
+.BR \-m ,
+and
+.BR \-s
+options. The first report shall indicate the status of message queues,
+the second report shall indicate the status of shared memory segments,
+and the third report shall indicate the status of semaphore sets.
+.P
+If the corresponding facility is not installed or has not been used
+since the last reboot, then the report shall be written out in the
+format:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+"%s facility not in system.\en", <\fIfacility\fP>
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+where <\fIfacility\fP> is
+.IR "Message Queue" ,
+.IR "Shared Memory" ,
+or
+.IR "Semaphore" ,
+as appropriate. If the facility has been installed and has been used
+since the last reboot, column headings separated by one or more
+<space>
+characters and followed by a
+<newline>
+shall be written as indicated below followed by the facility name
+written out using the format:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+"%s:\en", <\fIfacility\fP>
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+where <\fIfacility\fP> is
+.IR "Message Queues" ,
+.IR "Shared Memory" ,
+or
+.IR "Semaphores" ,
+as appropriate. On the second and third reports the column headings
+need not be written if the last column headings written already provide
+column headings for all information in that report.
+.P
+The column headings provided in the first column below and the meaning
+of the information in those columns shall be given in order below; the
+letters in parentheses indicate the options that shall cause the
+corresponding column to appear; ``all'' means that the column shall
+always appear. Each column is separated by one or more
+<space>
+characters. Note that these options only determine what information is
+provided for each report; they do not determine which reports are written.

+Type of facility:
+.RS 12
+.IP "\fRq\fP" 8
+Message queue.

+or
+\fIshmget\fR()
+to create the facility entry.
+.RS 12
+.TP 10
+.BR Note:

+.P
+The second character shall be:
+.IP "\fRR\fP" 8
+If a process is waiting on a
+\fImsgrcv\fR()
+operation.
+.IP "\fRC\fP\ or\ \fR\-\fP" 8
+If the associated shared memory segment is to be cleared when the first
+attach operation is executed.
+.IP "\fR\-\fP" 8
+If none of the above is true.
+.P
+The next nine characters shall be interpreted as three sets of three
+bits each. The first set refers to the owner's permissions; the next
+to permissions of others in the usergroup of the facility entry; and
+the last to all others. Within each set, the first character indicates
+permission to read, the second character indicates permission to write
+or alter the facility entry, and the last character is a

+.IP "\fR\-\fP" 8
+If the indicated permission is not granted.
+.P
+The first character following the permissions specifies if there is an
+alternate or additional access control method associated with the

+associated with the facility, a single
+<space>
+shall be written; otherwise, another printable character is
+written.
