.Sh NAME
.Nm shmget
.Nd get shared memory area identifier
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
.Fd #include <sys/ipc.h>
.Fd #include <sys/shm.h>
.Ft int
.Fn shmget "key_t key" "int size" "int shmflg"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn shmget
returns the shared memory identifier associated with the key
.Fa key .
A shared memory segment is created if either
.Fa key
is equal to IPC_PRIVATE, or
.Fa key
does not have a shared memory segment identifier associated with it, and the IPC_CREAT
bit is set in
.Fa shmflg.
If a new shared memory segment is created, the data structure associated with it (the
.Va shmid_ds
structure, see
.Xr shmctl 2 )
is initialized as follows:
.Bl -bullet
.It
.Va shm_perm.cuid
and
.Va shm_perm.uid
are set to the effective uid of the calling process.
.It
.Va shm_perm.gid
and
.Va shm_perm.cgid
are set to the effective gid of the calling process.
.It
.Va shm_perm.mode
is set to the lower 9 bits of
.Fa shmflg .
.It
.Va shm_lpid ,
.Va shm_nattch ,
.Va shm_atime ,
and
.Va shm_dtime
are set to 0
.It
.Va shm_ctime
is set to the current time.
.It
.Va shm_segsz
is set to the value of
.Fa size .
.El
.Sh RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion a positive shared memory segment identifier is returned.
Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable
.Va errno
is set to indicate the error.
.Sh ERRORS
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EACESS
A shared memory segment is already associated with
.Fa key
and the caller has no permission to access it.
.It Bq Er EEXIST
Both IPC_CREAT and IPC_EXCL are set in
.Fa shmflg ,
and a shared memory segment is already associated with
.Fa key .
.It Bq Er ENOSPC
A new shared memory indentifier could not be created because the system limit
for the number of shared memory identifiers has been reached.
.It Bq Er ENOENT
IPC_CREAT was not set in
.Fa shmflg
and no shared memory segment associated with
.Fa key
was found.
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
There is not enough memory left to created a shared memory segment of the
requested size.
