  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.

  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   (GPL)

 146 ipck:

 148   (GPL)
 149
 150 (*) originally BSD+advert, but falls under the blanket
 151     conversion to BSD-no-advert, because it was originally
 152          part of the UCB BSD distro.

 154     Note: The advertising clause in the license appearing
 155     on BSD Unix files was officially rescinded by the
 156     Director of the Office of Technology Licensing of the

 158     that clause 3 is "hereby deleted in its entirety."

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