IPC_INIT(9)                           Kernel IPC facilities                           IPC_INIT(9)



NAME
       ipc_init - initialise ipc subsystem

SYNOPSIS
       int ipc_init(void);

ARGUMENTS
       void
           no arguments

DESCRIPTION
       The various sysv ipc resources (semaphores, messages and shared memory) are initialised.

       A callback routine is registered into the memory hotplug notifier chain: since msgmni
       scales to lowmem this callback routine will be called upon successful memory add / remove
       to recompute msmgni.
