       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       sys/shm.h — XSI shared memory facility

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <sys/shm.h>

DESCRIPTION         top

       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.

       SHMLBA      Segment low boundary address multiple.

       The <sys/shm.h> header shall define the following data types
       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 <sys/shm.h> header shall define the shmid_ds structure, which
       shall include 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 <sys/shm.h> header shall define the pid_t, size_t, and time_t
       types 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, the <sys/shm.h> header shall include the <sys/ipc.h>
       header.

       The following sections are informative.
