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.
50 These tools can only be built if cygipc is installed
51 and thus are not portable to non-cygwin platforms. Also,
52 they can only operate properly if ipc-daemon is running.
53 Eventually I'll figure out how to get autotools to NOT
54 try to build them if IPC services are not available, and
55 I'll figure out how to link/test for libcygipc.a on cygwin
56 and just -lc on linux, etc.
