OPTIONS
       -i, --id id
              Show full details on just the one resource element identified by
              id.  This option needs to be combined with one of the three  re-
              source  options:  -m,  -q or -s.  It is possible to override the
              default output format for this option with  the  --list,  --raw,
              --json or --export option.

       -g, --global
              Show system-wide usage and limits of IPC resources.  This option
              may be combined with one of the three resource options:  -m,  -q
              or -s.  The default is to show information about all resources.

       -h, --help
              Display help text and exit.

       -V, --version
              Display version information and exit.

              Use  the  list  output format.  This is the default, except when
              --id is used.

              Print size in bytes rather than in human readable format.

              Raw output (no columnation).

       -t, --time
              Write  time information.  The time of the last control operation
              that changed the access permissions for all facilities, the time
              of  the  last  msgsnd(2)  and  msgrcv(2)  operations  on message
              queues, the time of the last shmat(2) and shmdt(2) operations on
              shared  memory,  and  the time of the last semop(2) operation on
              semaphores.

       --time-format type
              Display dates in short, full or  iso  format.   The  default  is
              short,  this  time  format is designed to be space efficient and
