ipcs: Specific information about the Message Queue which has the ID 32768.

ipcs

$ ipcs -qi 32768

try on your machine

The command "ipcs -qi 32768" is used to display detailed information about a specific message queue in a Unix-like operating system.

Specifically, "ipcs" is a command-line utility that stands for "interprocess communication (IPC) status" and is used to display the current status of IPC resources such as shared memory segments, message queues, and semaphores.

The "-qi" option is used to request additional information about a specific message queue. The number "32768" provided as an argument represents the identifier (ID) of the message queue for which the user wants to obtain information.

So, executing "ipcs -qi 32768" will display the detailed information about the message queue with ID 32768, including attributes like the key, owner, group, permissions, number of messages currently in the queue, maximum number of bytes allowed in the queue, and various timestamps.

Note that the actual information displayed may vary depending on the operating system and security permissions of the user executing the command.
