42 | .Ft void * | |

52 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
53 | .Fn shmat | |
54 | maps the shared memory segment associated with the shared memory identifier | |
55 | .Fa shmid | |
56 | into the address space of the calling process. The address at which the | |
57 | segment is mapped is determined by the | |
58 | .Fa shmaddr | |
59 | parameter. If it is equal to 0, the system will pick an address itself. | |
60 | Otherwise, an attempt is made to map the shared memory segment at the | |
61 | address | |
62 | .Fa shmaddr | |
63 | specifies. If SHM_RND is set in | |
64 | .Fa shmflg , | |
65 | the system will round the address down to a multiple of SHMLBA bytes | |
66 | (SHMLBA is defined in | |
67 | .Aq Pa sys/shm.h | |
68 | ). | |
69 | A shared memory segment can be mapped read-only by specifying the | |
70 | SHM_RDONLY flag in | |
71 | .Fa shmflg . | |
72 | .Fn shmdt | |
73 | unmaps the shared memory segment that is currently mapped at | |
74 | .Fa shmaddr | |
75 | from the calling process' address space. | |
76 | .Fa shmaddr | |
77 | must be a value returned by a prior | |
78 | .Fn shmat | |
79 | call. A shared memory segment will remain existant until it is removed by | |
80 | a call to | |
81 | .Xr shmctl 2 | |
82 | with the IPC_RMID command. | |
83 | .Sh RETURN VALUES | |
84 | .Fn shmat | |
85 | returns the address at which the shared memory segment has been mapped into | |
86 | the calling process' address space when successful, | |
87 | .Fn shmdt | |
88 | returns 0 on successful completion. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned, | |
89 | and the global variable | |
90 | .Va errno | |
91 | is set to indicate the error. | |
92 | .Sh ERRORS | |
93 | The | |
94 | .Fn shmat | |
95 | system call will fail if: | |
96 | .Bl -tag -width Er | |
97 | .\" =========== | |
98 | .It Bq Er EACCES | |
99 | The calling process has no permission to access this shared memory segment. | |
100 | .\" =========== | |
101 | .It Bq Er EINVAL | |
102 | .Fa shmid | |
103 | is not a valid shared memory identifier. | |
104 | .Fa shmaddr | |
105 | specifies an illegal address. | |
106 | .\" =========== | |
107 | .It Bq Er EMFILE | |
108 | The number of shared memory segments has reached the system-wide limit. | |
109 | .\" =========== | |
110 | .It Bq Er ENOMEM | |
111 | There is not enough available data space for the calling process to | |
112 | map the shared memory segment. | |
113 | .Pp | |
114 | .El | |
115 | The | |
116 | .Fn shmdt | |
117 | system call will fail if: | |
118 | .Bl -tag -width Er | |
119 | .It Bq Er EINVAL | |
120 | .Fa shmaddr | |
121 | is not the start address of a mapped shared memory segment. | |

123 | .Sh LEGACY SYNOPSIS | |
124 | .Fd #include <sys/types.h> | |
125 | .Fd #include <sys/ipc.h> | |
126 | .Fd #include <sys/shm.h> | |
127 | .Pp | |
128 | The include files | |
129 | .In sys/types.h | |
130 | and | |
131 | .In sys/ipc.h | |
132 | are necessary for both functions. | |
