psmshell - PSM memory management test shell

       Report bugs to <ion-bugs@korgano.eecs.ohiou.edu>

psmshell allocates a region of partition_size bytes of system memory, places it under PSM management, and
       offers the user an interactive "shell" for testing various PSM management functions.

       psmshell prints a prompt string (": ") to stdout, accepts a command from stdin, executes the command
       (possibly printing a diagnostic message), then prints another prompt string and so on.

       The locations of objects allocated from the PSM-managed region of memory are referred to as "cells" in
       psmshell operations.  That is, when an object is to be allocated, a cell number in the range 0-99 must be
       specified as the notional "handle" for that object, for use in future commands.

       The following commands are supported:

       h   The  help  command.   Causes psmshell to print a summary of available commands.  Same effect as the ?
           command.

       ?   Another help command.  Causes psmshell to print a summary of available commands.  Same effect as  the
           h command.

       mcell_nbrsize
           The  malloc  command.  Allocates a large-pool object of the indicated size and associates that object
           with cell_nbr.

       zcell_nbrsize
           The zalloc command.  Allocates a small-pool object of the indicated size and associates  that  object
           with cell_nbr.

       pcell_nbr
           The  print  command.  Prints the address (i.e., the offset within the managed block of memory) of the
           object associated with cell_nbr.

       fcell_nbr
           The free command.  Frees the object associated with cell_nbr, returning the space  formerly  occupied
           by that object to the appropriate free block list.

       u   The usage command.  Prints a partition usage report, as per psm_report(3).

       q   The quit command.  Frees the allocated system memory in the managed block and terminates psmshell.

       IPC initialization failed.
           ION system error.  Investigate, correct problem, and try again.

       psmshell: can't allocate space; quitting.
           Insufficient available system memory for selected partition size.

       psmshell: can't allocate test variables; quitting.
           Insufficient available system memory for selected partition size.

       No environment variables apply.

       "0" psmshell has terminated.

       No configuration files are needed.
