I would suggest improving 'lsipc' instead of using the old 'ipcs'.
The question is where to find information about POSIX IPC. For System
V, there is /proc/sysvipc, but there is no equivalent for POSIX (or I
am not aware of it). It seems that the only way to gather this
information is by scanning all processes' memory maps for /dev/shm.
This could be achieved by using lsfd.
