.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Based on the values of
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa flag ,
|
|
.Fn shmget
|
|
returns the identifier of a newly created or previously existing shared
|
|
memory segment.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.\" The following bit about keys and modes also applies to semaphores
|
|
.\" and message queues.
|
|
.\"
|
|
The key
|
|
is analogous to a filename: it provides a handle that names an
|
|
IPC object.
|
|
There are three ways to specify a key:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
IPC_PRIVATE may be specified, in which case a new IPC object
|
|
will be created.
|
|
.It
|
|
An integer constant may be specified.
|
|
If no IPC object corresponding
|
|
to
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
is specified and the IPC_CREAT bit is set in
|
|
.Fa flag ,
|
|
a new one will be created.
|
|
.It
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr ftok 3
|
|
may be used to generate a key from a pathname.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The mode of a newly created IPC object is determined by
|
|
.Em OR Ns 'ing
|
|
the following constants into the
|
|
.Fa flag
|
|
argument:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XSHM_WXX6XXX
|
|
.It Dv SHM_R
|
|
Read access for user.
|
|
.It Dv SHM_W
|
|
Write access for user.
|
|
.It Dv ( SHM_R>>3 )
|
|
Read access for group.
|
|
.It Dv ( SHM_W>>3 )
|
|
Write access for group.
|
|
.It Dv ( SHM_R>>6 )
|
|
Read access for other.
|
|
.It Dv ( SHM_W>>6 )
|
|
Write access for other.
|

.\" and use

|
|
.Pp
|
|
When creating a new shared memory segment,
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
indicates the desired size of the new segment in bytes.
|
|
The size
|
|
of the segment may be rounded up to a multiple convenient to the
|
|
kernel (i.e., the page size).
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion,
|
|
.Fn shmget
|
|
returns the positive integer identifier of a shared memory segment.
|
|
Otherwise, -1 is returned and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn shmget
|
|
system call
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.\"
|
|
.\" XXX What about ipcperm failing?
|
|
.\"
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
Size specified is greater than the size of the previously existing segment.
|
|
Size specified is less than the system imposed minimum, or greater than
|
|
the system imposed maximum.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOENT
|
|
No shared memory segment was found matching
|
|
.Fa key ,
|
|
and IPC_CREAT was not specified.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOSPC
|
|
The kernel was unable to allocate enough memory to
|
|
satisfy the request.
|
|
.It Bq Er EEXIST
|
|
IPC_CREAT and IPC_EXCL were specified, and a shared memory segment
|
|
corresponding to
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
already exists.
