31 | msgtool.exe / shmtool.exe / semtool.exe / semstat.exe | |
32 | These programs were taken from "Linux Programmer's | |
33 | Guide - Chapter 6" with a few changes so that they | |
34 | build cleanly. The original versions were written | |
35 | by (C)opyright 1994-1995, Scott Burkett. | |
36 | ** MODULE: msgtool | |
37 | A command line tool for tinkering with SysV style | |
38 | Message Queues | |
39 | ** MODULE: semtool | |
40 | A command line tool for tinkering with SysV style | |
41 | Semaphore Sets | |
42 | ** MODULE: semstat | |
43 | Another tool for tinkering with Semaphore Sets | |
44 | ** MODULE: shmtool | |
45 | A command line tool for tinkering with shared memory | |
46 | For information on how to use these tools, call them | |
47 | with the '-?' option. Also, see the Linux Programmer's | |
48 | Guide -- the IPC chapter is included with the cygipc | |
49 | distribution. | |

52 | These tools can only be built if IPC functions are | |
73d352cb | 53 | available. On cygwin, that (currently) means "only if |
b5edac4c CW |
54 | the cygipc package is installed" or "if using a cygwin |
55 | kernel newer than 1.5.5" | |

103 | (*) originally BSD+advert, but falls under the blanket |
104 | conversion to BSD-no-advert, because it was originally | |
105 | part of the UCB BSD distro. | |
106 | <http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.html>: | |
107 | Note: The advertising clause in the license appearing | |
108 | on BSD Unix files was officially rescinded by the | |
109 | Director of the Office of Technology Licensing of the | |
110 | University of California on July 22 1999. He states | |
111 | that clause 3 is "hereby deleted in its entirety." | |

76e235a1 | 113 | Note1: "last.exe" and "utmpdump.exe" were previously provided by |
2cacf0ee CW |
114 | cygutils. However, once the `sysvinit' package was added to |
115 | the cygwin distribution, they were removed. They are now | |
116 | provided by `sysvinit' -- which is where we took them from | |
117 | in the first place. | |

119 | Note2: "cal.exe" "col.exe" "colcrt.exe" "colrm.exe" "column.exe" | |
120 | "ddate.exe" "getopt.exe" "mcookie.exe" "namei.exe" "rename.exe" | |
121 | "rev.exe" | |
122 | were previously provided by cygutils. However, they were removed in | |
b87221e3 | 123 | version 1.3.0 because the `util-linux' package was added to the |
76e235a1 CW |
124 | cygwin distribution, and it provides those utilities. In fact, |
125 | it was from util-linux that the versions in cygutils were originally | |
126 | derived. | |
