System V IPC

Oracle Solaris 11 and compatible operating systems also provide the System V inter process communication (IPC) package. System V IPC has effectively been replaced by POSIX IPC, but is maintained to support older applications.

For more information about the Sysytem V IPC, see the ipcrm(1), ipcs(1), Intro(2), msgctl(2), msgget(2), msgrcv(2), msgsnd(2), semget(2), semctl(2), semop(2), shmget(2), shmctl(2), shmop(2), and ftok(3C) man pages.
