    Problem Summary PG4C.00132 The ipcs output shown in the test result does not match the XCU5 specification as amended by corrigendum U032.
    Problem Text

    This test may fail on implementations because the required fields
    are not being checked in the output for shared memory segments.

    As per the CAE Specification, Commands and Utilities, Issue 5, for ipcs
    Page no : 409, for the shared memory case using the (-m) or (-m -a) options,
    the output requires the following headings :

    T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP NATTCH SEGSZ CPID LPID ATIME DTIME CTIME

    However, the test is only checking for

    T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP NATTCH SEGSZ ATIME DTIME CTIME

    The test calls check_line as follows

    check_line "$detail_line" "m $shm_ID $shm_KEY $shm_MODE $shm_OWNER
    $shm_GROUP $shm_NATTCH $shm_SEGSZ $shm_ATIME $shm_DTIME $shm_CTIME .*" >
    $CT_STDOUT 2> $CT_STDERR

    and checks all of required fields, but fails to refer to the CPID and
    LPID fields as well. The result of this error is that the check_line
    comparison fails and the test fails.

    Specifically, in tp1039, change

    check_line "$detail_line" "m $shm_ID $shm_KEY $shm_MODE $shm_OWNER
    $shm_GROUP $shm_NATTCH $shm_SEGSZ $shm_ATIME $shm_DTIME $shm_CTIME .*" >
    $CT_STDOUT 2> $CT_STDERR

    to

    check_line "$detail_line" "m $shm_ID $shm_KEY $shm_MODE $shm_OWNER
    $shm_GROUP $shm_NATTCH $shm_SEGSZ $shm_CPID $shm_LPID $shm_ATIME $shm_DTIME
    $shm_CTIME .*" > $CT_STDOUT 2> $CT_STDERR

    Review Response
    It is true that this test does not match the specification, however
    neither does the implementation. The requirements for output of the
    ipcs command were amended in corrigendum U032 (March 1998). On
    systems which correctly implement the amended specification this
    test fails differently. The failure is covered by PIN4C.00045.

    It is recommended that this request is refused.
