NAME

6       ipc - System V IPC system calls
7

SYNOPSIS

9       int ipc(unsigned int call, int first, int second, int third, void *ptr,
10       long fifth);
11

DESCRIPTION

13       ipc() is a common kernel entry point for the System  V  IPC  calls  for
14       messages,  semaphores,  and  shared  memory.  call determines which IPC
15       function to invoke; the other  arguments  are  passed  through  to  the
16       appropriate call.
17
18       User  programs  should  call  the  appropriate functions by their usual
19       names.  Only standard library implementors and kernel hackers  need  to
20       know about ipc().
21

CONFORMING TO

23       ipc() is Linux specific, and should not be used in programs intended to
24       be portable.
