-The current implementation of
-.B ipcs
-obtains information about available IPC resources by parsing the files in
-.IR /proc/sysvipc .
-Before util-linux version v2.23, an alternate mechanism was used: the
-.BR IPC_STAT
-command of
-.BR msgctl (2),
-.BR semctl (2),

-.BR shmctl (2).
-This mechanism is also used in later util-linux versions in the case where

-A limitation of the
-.B IPC_STAT
-mechanism is that it can only be used to retrieve information about
-IPC resources for which the user has read permission.
