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. Cheers, -- Paul Ripke Unix/OpenVMS/TSM/DBA I love deadlines.
