<sys/shm.h>(0P)            POSIX Programmer's Manual           <sys/shm.h>(0P)

NAME
       sys/shm.h - XSI shared memory facility
SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/shm.h>
DESCRIPTION
       The <sys/shm.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants:
       SHM_RDONLY
              Attach read-only (else read-write).
       SHM_RND
              Round attach address to SHMLBA.

       The <sys/shm.h> header shall define the following symbolic value:
       SHMLBA Segment low boundary address multiple.

       The following data types shall be defined through typedef:
       shmatt_t
              Unsigned  integer  used  for the number of current attaches that
              must be able to store  values  at  least  as  large  as  a  type
              unsigned short.

       The shmid_ds structure shall contain the following members:

              struct ipc_perm shm_perm   Operation permission structure.
              size_t          shm_segsz  Size of segment in bytes.
              pid_t           shm_lpid   Process ID of last shared memory operation.
              pid_t           shm_cpid   Process ID of creator.
              shmatt_t        shm_nattch Number of current attaches.
              time_t          shm_atime  Time of last shmat
               ().
              time_t          shm_dtime  Time of last shmdt
               ().
              time_t          shm_ctime  Time of last change by shmctl
               ().
       The  pid_t,  time_t,  key_t,  and  size_t  types  shall  be  defined as
       described in <sys/types.h> .
       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
       macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

              void *shmat(int, const void *, int);
              int   shmctl(int, int, struct shmid_ds *);
              int   shmdt(const void *);
              int   shmget(key_t, size_t, int);
       In  addition, all of the symbols from <sys/ipc.h> shall be defined when
       this header is included.
       The following sections are informative.
