.Sh NAME

.Nm shmctl
|
|
.Nd shared memory control operations
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|

.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include \*[Lt]sys/shm.h\*[Gt]
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn shmctl "int shmid" "int cmd" "struct shmid_ds *buf"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn shmctl
|
|
system call performs control operations on the shared memory segment
|
|
specified by
|
|
.Fa shmid .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each shared memory segment has a
|
|
.Sy shmid_ds
|
|
structure associated with it which contains the following members:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct ipc_perm shm_perm; /* operation permissions */
|
|
size_t shm_segsz; /* size of segment in bytes */
|
|
pid_t shm_lpid; /* pid of last shm op */
|
|
pid_t shm_cpid; /* pid of creator */
|
|
shmatt_t shm_nattch; /* # of current attaches */
|
|
time_t shm_atime; /* last shmat() time*/
|
|
time_t shm_dtime; /* last shmdt() time */
|
|
time_t shm_ctime; /* last change by shmctl() */
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Sy ipc_perm
|
|
structure used inside the
|
|
.Sy shmid_ds
|
|
structure is defined in
|
|
.Aq Pa sys/ipc.h
|
|
and contains the following members:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
uid_t cuid; /* creator user id */
|
|
gid_t cgid; /* creator group id */
|
|
uid_t uid; /* user id */
|
|
gid_t gid; /* group id */
|
|
mode_t mode; /* permission (lower 9 bits) */
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The operation to be performed by
|
|
.Fn shmctl
|
|
is specified in
|
|
.Fa cmd
|
|
and is one of:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width IPC_RMIDX
|
|
.It Dv IPC_STAT
|
|
Gather information about the shared memory segment and place it in the
|
|
structure pointed to by
|
|
.Fa buf .
|
|
.It Dv IPC_SET
|
|
Set the value of the
|
|
.Va shm_perm.uid ,
|
|
.Va shm_perm.gid
|
|
and
|
|
.Va shm_perm.mode
|
|
fields in the structure associated with
|
|
.Fa shmid .
|
|
The values are taken from the corresponding fields in the structure
|
|
pointed to by
|
|
.Fa buf .
|
|
This operation can only be executed by the super-user, or a process that
|
|
has an effective user id equal to either
|
|
.Va shm_perm.cuid
|
|
or
|
|
.Va shm_perm.uid
|
|
in the data structure associated with the shared memory segment.
|
|
.It Dv IPC_RMID
|
|
Remove the shared memory segment specified by
|
|
.Fa shmid
|
|
and destroy the data associated with it.
|
|
Only the super-user or a process with an effective uid equal to the
|
|
.Va shm_perm.cuid
|
|
or
|
|
.Va shm_perm.uid
|
|
values in the data structure associated with the queue can do this.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The read and write permissions on a shared memory identifier
|
|
are determined by the
|
|
.Va shm_perm.mode
|
|
field in the same way as is
|
|
done with files (see
|
|
.Xr chmod 2 ) ,
|
|
but the effective uid can match either the
|
|
.Va shm_perm.cuid
|
|
field or the
|
|
.Va shm_perm.uid
|
|
field, and the
|
|
effective gid can match either
|
|
.Va shm_perm.cgid
|
|
or
|
|
.Va shm_perm.gid .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.
|
|
Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Fn shmctl
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
.Fa cmd
|
|
is equal to
|
|
.Dv IPC_SET
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv IPC_RMID
|
|
and the caller is not the super-user, nor does
|
|
the effective uid match either the
|
|
.Va shm_perm.uid
|
|
or
|
|
.Va shm_perm.cuid
|
|
fields of the data structure associated with the shared memory segment.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
An attempt was made to increase the value of
|
|
.Va shm_qbytes
|
|
through
|
|
.Dv IPC_SET
|
|
but the caller is not the super-user.
|
|
.It Bq Er EACCES
|
|
The command is
|
|
.Dv IPC_STAT
|
|
and the caller has no read permission for this shared memory segment.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
.Fa shmid
|
|
is not a valid shared memory segment identifier.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Va cmd
|
|
is not a valid command.
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
.Fa buf
|
|
specifies an invalid address.
