IPC(2) Linux Programmer's Manual IPC(2)
NAME
ipc - System V IPC system calls
SYNOPSIS
intipc(unsignedint call,int first,int second,int third,void*ptr,
long fifth);
DESCRIPTION
ipc() is a common kernel entry point for the System V IPC calls for
messages, semaphores, and shared memory. call determines which IPC
function to invoke; the other arguments are passed through to the
appropriate call.
User programs should call the appropriate functions by their usual
names. Only standard library implementors and kernel hackers need to
know about ipc().
CONFORMINGTO
ipc() is Linux specific, and should not be used in programs intended to
be portable.
