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.

38 Message Queues

41 Semaphore Sets
42 ** MODULE: semstat
43 Another tool for tinkering with Semaphore Sets
44 ** MODULE: shmtool

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.
50
51
52 These tools can only be built if IPC functions are
53 available. On cygwin, that (currently) means "only if
54 the cygipc package is installed" or "if using a cygwin
55 kernel newer than 1.5.5"
56 (GPLv3+)

102
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108 on BSD Unix files was officially rescinded by the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."
112
113 Note1: "last.exe" and "utmpdump.exe" were previously provided by
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.
118
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
123 version 1.3.0 because the `util-linux' package was added to the
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.
