SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/ipc.h>


DESCRIPTION

       The <sys/ipc.h> header is used by three mechanisms for XSI interprocess
       communication (IPC): messages, semaphores, and shared memory. All use a
       common  structure type, ipc_perm, to pass information used in determin-
       ing permission to perform an IPC operation.

       The ipc_perm structure shall contain the following members:


              uid_t    uid    Owner's user ID.
              gid_t    gid    Owner's group ID.
              uid_t    cuid   Creator's user ID.
              gid_t    cgid   Creator's group ID.
              mode_t   mode   Read/write permission.

       The uid_t, gid_t, mode_t, and key_t types shall be defined as described
       in <sys/types.h> .

       Definitions shall be provided for the following constants:

       Mode bits:

       IPC_CREAT

              Fail if key exists.

       IPC_NOWAIT
              Error if request must wait.


       Keys:
