 !!DESCRIPTION 
+ipc(2) 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(2).
