The linux kernel has added STAT_ANY variants to the shmctl(), semctl(), and msgctl() shared memory functions. Add descriptions for these new cmd values. The text is adopted directly from Davidlohr Bueso's <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx> upstream linux kernel commits: ipc/shm: introduce shmctl(SHM_STAT_ANY) ipc/sem: introduce semctl(SEM_STAT_ANY) ipc/msg: introduce msgctl(MSG_STAT_ANY) Signed-off-by: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@xxxxxxxxxx> --- man2/msgctl.2 | 21 +++++++++++++++++++-- man2/semctl.2 | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++-- man2/shmctl.2 | 20 ++++++++++++++++++-- 3 files changed, 58 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/man2/msgctl.2 b/man2/msgctl.2 index df74c750457a..00c641a5cb53 100644 --- a/man2/msgctl.2 +++ b/man2/msgctl.2 @@ -33,6 +33,9 @@ .\" Language and formatting clean-ups .\" Added msqid_ds and ipc_perm structure definitions .\" 2005-08-02, mtk: Added IPC_INFO, MSG_INFO, MSG_STAT descriptions +.\" 2018-07-22, Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@xxxxxxxxxx>: +.\" Added MSG_STAT_ANY description, based on SHM_STAT_ANY text from +.\" Davidlohr Bueso. .\" .TH MSGCTL 2 2017-09-15 "Linux" "Linux Programmer's Manual" .SH NAME @@ -226,6 +229,18 @@ However, the argument is not a queue identifier, but instead an index into the kernel's internal array that maintains information about all message queues on the system. +.TP +.BR MSG_STAT_ANY " (Linux-specific)" +Return a +.I msqid_ds +structure as for +.BR MSG_STAT . +However, the +.I msg_perm.mode +is not checked for read access for +.IR shmid , +resembing the behaviour of +/proc/sysvipc/msg. .SH RETURN VALUE On success, .BR IPC_STAT , @@ -241,10 +256,12 @@ operation returns the index of the highest used entry in the kernel's internal array recording information about all message queues.
