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. | |

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" | |

154 | (*) originally BSD+advert, but falls under the blanket |
155 | conversion to BSD-no-advert, because it was originally | |
156 | part of the UCB BSD distro. | |
157 | <http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.html>: | |
158 | Note: The advertising clause in the license appearing | |
159 | on BSD Unix files was officially rescinded by the | |
160 | Director of the Office of Technology Licensing of the | |
161 | University of California on July 22 1999. He states | |
162 | that clause 3 is "hereby deleted in its entirety." | |

164 | Note: "last.exe" and "utmpdump.exe" were previously provided by |
165 | cygutils. However, once the `sysvinit' package was added to | |
166 | the cygwin distribution, they were removed. They are now | |
167 | provided by `sysvinit' -- which is where we took them from | |
168 | in the first place. |
