NAME         top

       /proc/sysvipc/ - System V IPC

DESCRIPTION         top

       /proc/sysvipc/
              Subdirectory containing the pseudo-files msg, sem and shm.
              These files list the System V Interprocess Communication
              (IPC) objects (respectively: message queues, semaphores,
              and shared memory) that currently exist on the system,
              providing similar information to that available via
              ipcs(1).  These files have headers and are formatted (one
              IPC object per line) for easy understanding.  sysvipc(7)
              provides further background on the information shown by
              these files.
