54.2. Creating Shared Memory Objects

The shm_open() function creates and opens a new shared memory object or opens an existing object. The arguments to shm_open() are analogous to those for open().

#include <fcntl.h>            /* Defines O_* constants */
#include <sys/stat.h>         /* Defines mode constants */
#include <sys/mman.h>

int shm_open(const char *name, int oflag, mode_t mode);
