-*
-* Test Assertion:
-* This testcase verifies the semaphore isoloation in 2 diff containers.
-* It tries to create/access a semaphore created with the same KEY.
-*
-* Description:
-* Create 2 'containers' with the below flag value
-*   Flag = clone, clone(CLONE_NEWIPC), or unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC)
-* In Cont1, create semaphore with key 124326L
-* In Cont2, try to access the semaphore created in Cont1.
-* PASS :
-*		If flag = None and the semaphore is accessible in Cont2.
-*		If flag = unshare/clone and the semaphore is not accessible in Cont2.
-*		If semaphore is not accessible in Cont2, creates new semaphore with
-*		the same key to double check isloation in IPCNS.
-*
-* FAIL :
-*		If flag = none and the semaphore is not accessible.
-*		If flag = unshare/clone and semaphore is accessible in Cont2.
-*		If the new semaphore creation Fails.
