.SH NAME
shmctl \- XSI shared memory control operations
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <sys/shm.h>
.br
.sp
int shmctl(int\fP \fIshmid\fP\fB, int\fP \fIcmd\fP\fB, struct shmid_ds
*\fP\fIbuf\fP\fB); \fP
\fB
.br
\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fIshmctl\fP() function operates on XSI shared memory (see the
Base Definitions volume of IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001,
Section 3.340, Shared Memory Object). It is unspecified whether this
function
interoperates with the realtime interprocess communication facilities
defined in \fIRealtime\fP .
.LP
The \fIshmctl\fP() function provides a variety of shared memory control
operations as specified by \fIcmd\fP. The following
values for \fIcmd\fP are available:
.TP 7
IPC_STAT
Place the current value of each member of the \fBshmid_ds\fP data
structure associated with \fIshmid\fP into the structure
pointed to by \fIbuf\fP. The contents of the structure are defined
in \fI<sys/shm.h>\fP.
.TP 7
IPC_SET
Set the value of the following members of the \fBshmid_ds\fP data
structure associated with \fIshmid\fP to the corresponding
value found in the structure pointed to by \fIbuf\fP:
.sp
.RS
.nf
\fBshm_perm.uid
shm_perm.gid
shm_perm.mode \fP Low-order nine bits.
.fi
.RE
.LP
IPC_SET can only be executed by a process that has an effective user
ID equal to either that of a process with appropriate
privileges or to the value of \fIshm_perm.cuid\fP or \fIshm_perm.uid\fP
in the \fBshmid_ds\fP data structure associated with
\fIshmid\fP.
.TP 7
IPC_RMID
Remove the shared memory identifier specified by \fIshmid\fP from
the system and destroy the shared memory segment and
\fBshmid_ds\fP data structure associated with it. IPC_RMID can only
be executed by a process that has an effective user ID equal
to either that of a process with appropriate privileges or to the
value of \fIshm_perm.cuid\fP or \fIshm_perm.uid\fP in the
\fBshmid_ds\fP data structure associated with \fIshmid\fP.
.sp
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fIshmctl\fP() shall return 0; otherwise,
it shall return -1 and set \fIerrno\fP to indicate the
error.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
The \fIshmctl\fP() function shall fail if:
.TP 7
.B EACCES
The argument \fIcmd\fP is equal to IPC_STAT and the calling process
does not have read permission; see \fIXSI Interprocess Communication\fP
\&.
.TP 7
.B EINVAL
The value of \fIshmid\fP is not a valid shared memory identifier,
or the value of \fIcmd\fP is not a valid command.
.TP 7
.B EPERM
The argument \fIcmd\fP is equal to IPC_RMID or IPC_SET and the effective
user ID of the calling process is not equal to that
of a process with appropriate privileges and it is not equal to the
value of \fIshm_perm.cuid\fP or \fIshm_perm.uid\fP in the
data structure associated with \fIshmid\fP.
.sp
.LP
The \fIshmctl\fP() function may fail if:
.TP 7
.B EOVERFLOW
The \fIcmd\fP argument is IPC_STAT and the \fIgid\fP or \fIuid\fP
value is too large to be stored in the structure pointed
to by the \fIbuf\fP argument.
.sp
.LP
\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
None.
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
.LP
The POSIX Realtime Extension defines alternative interfaces for interprocess
communication. Application developers who need to
use IPC should design their applications so that modules using the
IPC routines described in \fIXSI Interprocess Communication\fP can
be easily modified to use the alternative
interfaces.
.SH RATIONALE
.LP
None.
.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
.LP
None.
