      PortSystem 1.0
      Name: ipcs
      Version: 1.0
      Category: sysutils
      Maintainers: waqar macports.org
      Description: ipcs / ipcrm commands for os x
      Long Description: The ipcs command can be used to obtain the status of all System V IPC objects. The ipcrm command can be used to remove an IPC object from the kernel. While IPC objects can be removed via system calls in user code, the need often arises, especially under development environments, to remove IPC objects manually.

    If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.

    Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:


      %  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/ipcs
      % sudo port install ipcs
      Password:
    You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

      ---> Fetching ipcs
      ---> Verifying checksum for ipcs
      ---> Extracting ipcs
      ---> Configuring ipcs
      ---> Building ipcs with target all
      ---> Staging ipcs into destroot
      ---> Installing ipcs
    - Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using ipcs with these commands:
      %  man ipcs
      % apropos ipcs
      % which ipcs
      % locate ipcs
