-.TH ipc 2 (date) "Linux man-pages (unreleased)"
-.SH NAME
-ipc \- System V IPC system calls
-.SH LIBRARY
-Standard C library
-.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.BR "#include <linux/ipc.h>" " /* Definition of needed constants */"
-.BR "#include <sys/syscall.h>" " /* Definition of " SYS_* " constants */"
-.B #include <unistd.h>
-.PP
-.BI "int syscall(SYS_ipc, unsigned int " call ", int " first ,
-.BI " unsigned long " second ", unsigned long " third \
-", void *" ptr ,
-.BI " long " fifth );
-.fi
-.PP
-.IR Note :
-glibc provides no wrapper for
-.BR ipc (),
-necessitating the use of
-.BR syscall (2).
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.BR ipc ()
-is a common kernel entry point for the System\ V IPC calls
-for messages, semaphores, and shared memory.
-.I call
-determines which IPC function to invoke;
-the other arguments are passed through to the appropriate call.
-.PP
-User-space programs should call the appropriate functions by their usual names.
-Only standard library implementors and kernel hackers need to know about
-.BR ipc ().
-.SH VERSIONS
-On some architectures\[em]for example x86-64 and ARM\[em]there is no
-.BR ipc ()
-system call; instead,
-.BR msgctl (2),
-.BR semctl (2),
-.BR shmctl (2),
-and so on really are implemented as separate system calls.
-.SH STANDARDS
-Linux.
