|
|
<p>The <strong>shmctl()</strong> function allows the caller to control
|
|
the shared memory segment specified by the <em>shmid</em> parameter.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A shared memory segment is controlled by setting the <em>cmd</em> parameter
|
|
to one of the following values:
|
|
<dl>
|
|
|
|
<dt><strong>IPC_RMID (0x00000000)</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd>Remove the shared memory segment identifier <em>shmid</em> from the system and
|
|
destroy the shared memory segment.
|
|
|
|
<p>The IPC_RMID command can be run only by a thread with appropriate privileges
|
|
or one that has an effective user ID equal to the user ID of the owner or the user ID
|
|
of the creator of the shared memory segment. The
|
|
structure pointed to by <em>*buf</em> is ignored and can be NULL.</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><strong>IPC_SET (0x00000001)</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd>Set the user ID of the owner, the group ID of the owner, the permissions, and the
|
|
maximum number of bytes for the shared memory segment to the values in the
|
|
<samp>shm_perm.uid</samp>, <samp>shm_perm.gid</samp>, and
|
|
<samp>shm_perm.mode</samp> members of the
|
|
<samp>shmid_ds</samp> data structure pointed to by <em>*buf</em>.
|
|
|
|
<p>The IPC_SET command can be run only by a thread with appropriate privileges or one that
|
|
has an effective user ID equal to the user ID of the owner or the user ID
|
|
of the creator of the shared memory segment.</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><strong>IPC_STAT (0x00000002)</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd>Store the current value of each member of the
|
|
<samp>shmid_ds</samp> data structure into the
|
|
structure pointed to by <em>*buf</em>. The IPC_STAT command requires read
|
|
permission to the shared memory segment.<p></dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><strong>SHM_SIZE (0x00000006)</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd>Set the size of the shared memory segment using the <samp>shm_segsz</samp>
|
|
member of the <samp>shmid_ds</samp> data structure pointed to by
|
|
<em>*buf</em>. This value may be larger or smaller than the current size. This
|
|
command is valid for nonteraspace shared memory segments and for teraspace
|
|
shared memory segments created using the SHM_RESIZE_NP option of the <strong>
|
|
shmget()</strong> function. The maximum size to which a nonteraspace shared memory
|
|
segment may be expanded is 16 773 120 bytes (16 MB minus 4096 bytes).
|
|
The maximum size of a resizeable teraspace shared memory segment is
|
|
268 435 456 bytes (256 MB).
|
|
<br>
|
|
The SHM_SIZE command can be run only by a
|
|
thread with appropriate privileges or a thread that has an effective user ID
|
|
equal to the user ID of the owner or the user ID
|
|
of the creator of the shared memory segment.
|
|
<br>
|
|
If a shared memory segment is resized to a smaller size, other threads using
|
|
the memory that is being removed from the shared memory segment may
|
|
experience memory exceptions when accessing that memory.
