ipcget(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ipcget(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this page is literally about ipcget, and the name-line tea is Common sys_*get() code. it’s giving shared kernel-helper energy, no cap. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ipcget (struct ipc_namespace *ns , struct ipc_ids *ids , const
       struct ipc_ops *ops , struct ipc_params *params );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ns — the namespace, literally.
• ids — the ipc identifier set, aka the id squad.
• ops — operations to be called on ipc object creation, permission checks and further checks; think of it as the ops itinerary.
• params — the parameters needed by the previous operations. yes, the whole params posse. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This is the common routine called by sys_msgget, sys_semget and sys_shmget. no cap — it’s the shared sys_*get() helper those three pull up to. 💅
