.Dt SHMAT 2
.Os NetBSD
.Sh NAME
.Nm shmat ,
.Nm shmdt
.Nd map/unmap shared memory
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
.Fd #include <sys/ipc.h>
.Fd #include <sys/shm.h>
.Ft void *
.Fn shmat "int shmid" "void *shmaddr" "int shmflg"
.Ft int
.Fn shmdt "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 SHM_RND is set in
.Fa shmflg ,
the system will round the address down to a multiple of SHMLBA bytes
(SHMLBA is defined in
.Aq Pa sys/shm.h
).
A shared memory segment can be mapped read-only by specifying the
SHM_RDONLY flag in
.Fa shmflg .
.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 existant until it is removed by
a call to
.Xr shmctl 2
with the 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 EACCESS
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.
.Fa shmaddr
specifies an illegal address.
.It Bq Er EMFILE
The number of shared memory segments has reached the system-wide limit.
.El
.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.
