I'm new (as of today) on this list, so please forgive me if this isn't
quite the right place to ask this question. A friend of mine here is
trying to port some stuff from SUN Solaris, and stuck his head in my
office this afternoon to ask: "Why don't I see ipcs on OS X?" I
checked and he seems to be right, no binary, no man page, no nothing.
I turned to the X-Tech list for help, and was pointed here by someone
who commented that since all inter-process communication is handled by
the kernel in OS X/Darwin, this was the place to ask.
Google for "ipcs darwin" and you should find my Darwinized ports of
FreeBSD ipcs/ipcrm.
BTW: Under Darwin, other interfaces are preferred over SYSV shared
memory (mmap(2)) and semaphores (POSIX). There are also severe limits
on how much SYSV SHM can be allocated.
