ipcrm -- remove a message queue, semaphore set, dynamic shared memory ID, or shared memory ID

Synopsis

ipcrm [-q msqid] [-m shmid] [-s semid] [-d dshmid] [-Q msgkey] [-M shmkey] [-S semkey] [-D dshmkey]

Description

ipcrm removes one or more messages, semaphores, or shared memory identifiers. The details of the removes are described in msgctl(2), shmctl(2), and semctl(2). Use the ipcs command to find the identifiers and keys.

Options

The identifiers are specified by the following options:

-d dshmid
Remove the dynamic shared memory identifier dshmid from the system. The dynamic shared memory segment and data structure associated with it are destroyed after the last detach.

-D dshmkey
Removes the dynamic shared memory identifier, created with key dshmkey, from the system. The shared memory segment and data structure associated with it are destroyed after the last detach.

-m shmid
Remove the shared memory identifier shmid from the system. The shared memory segment and data structure associated with it are destroyed after the last detach.

-M shmkey
Removes the shared memory identifier, created with key shmkey, from the system. The shared memory segment and data structure associated with it are destroyed after the last detach.

-q msqid
Remove the message queue identifier msqid from the system and destroy the message queue and data structure associated with it.

-Q msgkey
Remove the message queue identifier, created with key msgkey, from the system and destroy the message queue and data structure associated with it.

-s semid
Remove the semaphore identifier semid from the system and destroy the set of semaphores and data structure associated with it.

-S semkey
Remove the semaphore identifier, created with key semkey, from the system and destroy the set of semaphores and data structure associated with it.
