.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility provides information on System V interprocess communication
|
|
(IPC) facilities on the system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Show the maximum amount of information possible when
|
|
displaying active semaphores, message queues,
|
|
and shared memory segments.
|
|
(This is shorthand for specifying the
|
|
.Fl b ,
|
|
.Fl c ,
|
|
.Fl o ,
|
|
.Fl p ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
options.)
|
|
.It Fl b
|
|
Show the maximum allowed sizes for active semaphores, message queues,
|
|
and shared memory segments.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq 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.
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Show the creator's name and group for active semaphores, message queues,
|
|
and shared memory segments.
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Display information about active shared memory segments.
|
|
.It Fl o
|
|
Show outstanding usage for active message queues,
|
|
and shared memory segments.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq outstanding usage
|
|
is the number of messages in a message queue, or the number
|
|
of processes attached to a shared memory segment.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Show the process ID information for active semaphores, message queues,
|
|
and shared memory segments.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq 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.
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Display information about active message queues.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Display information about active semaphores.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Show access times for active semaphores, message queues,
|
|
and shared memory segments.
|
|
The access times is the time
|
|
of the last control 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.
|
|
.It Fl C Ar core
|
|
Extract values associated with the name list from the specified
|
|
core instead of the default
|
|
.Pa /dev/kmem .
|
|
Implies
|
|
.Fl y .
|
|
.It Fl M
|
|
Display system information about shared memory.
|
|
.It Fl N Ar system
|
|
Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the
|
|
default
|
|
.Pa /boot/kernel/kernel .
|
|
Implies
|
|
.Fl y .
|
|
.It Fl Q
|
|
Display system information about messages queues.
|
|
.It Fl S
|
|
Display system information about semaphores.
|
|
.It Fl T
|
|
Display system information about shared memory, message queues
|
|
and semaphores.
|
|
.It Fl y
|
|
Use the
|
|
.Xr kvm 3
|
|
interface instead of the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 3
|
|
interface to extract the required information.
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is to operate on the running system,
|
|
using
|
|
.Xr kvm 3
|
|
will require read privileges to
|
|
.Pa /dev/kmem .
|
|
.It Fl u Ar user
|
|
Display information about IPC mechanisms owned by
|
|
.Pa user .
|
|
User specification can be in the form of a numeric UID or
|
|
a login name.
