!!NAME
ipc - System V IPC system calls

!!SYNOPSIS
__int ipc(unsigned int__ ''call,'' __int__ ''first,'' __int__ ''second,'' __int__ ''third,'' __void *__''ptr,'' __long__ ''fifth);''

!!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).

!!CONFORMING TO
ipc(2) is Linux specific, and should not be used in programs intended to be portable.

!!SEE ALSO
msgctl(2), msgget(2), msgrcv(2), msgsnd(2), semctl(2), semget(2), semop(2), shmat(2), shmctl(2), shmdt(2), shmget(2)
