I keep the -M option. I think it is more clear if "ipcs -m" outputs only
one line for each shared memory and it gets more similarity with "ipcs
-s" and "ipcs -q". Actually, there are a lot of information about shared
memory like below.
[root@localhost ipcs]# ipcs -i 0 -m
Shared memory Segment shmid=0
uid=0 gid=0 cuid=0 cgid=0
mode=0666 access_perms=0666
bytes=90000 lpid=30412 cpid=30412 nattch=0

Maybe later, we will need not only PAGES and VFS_INODE. We may need some
information about time. So keeping -M option is necessary.
OK, fair enough...
P.S. the two useless item has been removed, please refer to the
attachment.
I will put this module on the extension module web page for now.
The only thing that I will modify is to change the "VFS_INODE" string
to indicate just "INODE", given that it's a pointer to a "struct
inode".
Thanks,
Dave
