- I have been trying with limited success to write code with Sys V IPC for
- shared memory access and message passing. While have had partial success
- I have not been consistently been able to allocate or attach the shared
- areas. It seems to have something to do with the flags argument to
- shmget but I don't have enough information to understand what is
- happening in the kernel tables. I need to solve this for my own program
- but more importantly for a group of students who may be doing this in
- next year's class. I need to know more about the flags argument and how
- keys and ID's are allocated and maintained.
