.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include \*[Lt]sys/shm.h\*[Gt]
|
|
.Ft void *
|
|
.Fn shmat "int shmid" "const void *shmaddr" "int shmflg"

.Fn shmdt "const void *shmaddr"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn shmat
|
|
maps the shared memory segment associated with the shared memory identifier
|
|
.Fa shmid
|
|
into the address space of the calling process. The address at which the
|
|
segment is mapped is determined by the
|
|
.Fa shmaddr
|
|
parameter. If it is equal to 0, the system will pick an address itself.
|
|
Otherwise, an attempt is made to map the shared memory segment at the
|
|
address
|
|
.Fa shmaddr
|
|
specifies. If
|
|
.Dv SHM_RND
|
|
is set in
|
|
.Fa shmflg ,
|
|
the system will round the address down to a multiple of
|
|
.Dv SHMLBA
|
|
bytes
|
|
.Pf ( Dv SHMLBA
|
|
is defined in
|
|
.Aq Pa sys/shm.h ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A shared memory segment can be mapped read-only by specifying the
|
|
.Dv SHM_RDONLY
|
|
flag in
|
|
.Fa shmflg .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn shmdt
|
|
unmaps the shared memory segment that is currently mapped at
|
|
.Fa shmaddr
|
|
from the calling process' address space.
|
|
.Fa shmaddr
|
|
must be a value returned by a prior
|
|
.Fn shmat
|
|
call. A shared memory segment will remain in existence until it is
|
|
removed by a call to
|
|
.Xr shmctl 2
|
|
with the
|
|
.Dv IPC_RMID
|
|
command.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn shmat
|
|
returns the address at which the shared memory segment has been mapped into
|
|
the calling process' address space when successful,
|
|
.Fn shmdt
|
|
returns 0 on successful completion. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned,
|
|
and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Fn shmat
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EACCES
|
|
The calling process has no permission to access this shared memory segment.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
|
|
There is not enough available data space for the calling process to
|
|
map the shared memory segment.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
.Fa shmid
|
|
is not a valid shared memory identifier.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fa shmaddr
|
|
specifies an illegal address.
|
|
.It Bq Er EMFILE
|
|
The number of shared memory segments has reached the system-wide limit.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn shmdt
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
.Fa shmaddr
|
|
is not the start address of a mapped shared memory segment.
