>Description:
The built-in usage for ipcs lacks the M, Q, S and T options while the
man page has the description of the C and N options reversed.
I tried to spruce up the man page. This is the first time I have edited
a man page; I think it still works.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Patch for the code and man page:
