IPC::SharedMem(3pm)    Perl Programmers Reference Guide	   IPC::SharedMem(3pm)

NAME
       IPC::SharedMem - SysV Shared Memory IPC object class

SYNOPSIS
	   use IPC::SysV qw(IPC_PRIVATE S_IRUSR S_IWUSR);
	   use IPC::SharedMem;

	   $shm = IPC::SharedMem->new(IPC_PRIVATE, 8, S_IRWXU);

	   $shm->write(pack("S", 4711), 2, 2);

	   $data = $shm->read(0, 2);

	   $ds = $shm->stat;

	   $shm->remove;

DESCRIPTION
       A class providing an object based interface to SysV IPC shared memory.

METHODS
       new ( KEY , SIZE , FLAGS )
	   Creates a new shared memory segment associated with "KEY". A new
	   segment is created if

	   ·   "KEY" is equal to "IPC_PRIVATE"

	   ·   "KEY" does not already have a shared memory segment associated
	       with it, and "FLAGS & IPC_CREAT" is true.

	   On creation of a new shared memory segment "FLAGS" is used to set
	   the permissions.  Be careful not to set any flags that the Sys V
	   IPC implementation does not allow: in some systems setting execute
	   bits makes the operations fail.

       id  Returns the shared memory identifier.

       read ( POS, SIZE )
	   Read "SIZE" bytes from the shared memory segment at "POS". Returns
	   the string read, or "undef" if there was an error. The return value
	   becomes tainted. See shmread.

       write ( STRING, POS, SIZE )
	   Write "SIZE" bytes to the shared memory segment at "POS". Returns
	   true if successful, or false if there is an error. See shmwrite.

       remove
	   Remove the shared memory segment from the system or mark it as
	   removed as long as any processes are still attached to it.

       is_removed
	   Returns true if the shared memory segment has been removed or
	   marked for removal.

       stat
	   Returns an object of type "IPC::SharedMem::stat" which is a sub-
	   class of "Class::Struct". It provides the following fields. For a
	   description of these fields see you system documentation.

	       uid
	       gid
	       cuid
	       cgid
	       mode
	       segsz
	       lpid
	       cpid
	       nattach
	       atime
	       dtime
	       ctime

       attach ( [FLAG] )
	   Permanently attach to the shared memory segment. When a
	   "IPC::SharedMem" object is attached, it will use memread and
	   memwrite instead of shmread and shmwrite for accessing the shared
	   memory segment.  Returns true if successful, or false on error. See
	   shmat.

       detach
	   Detach from the shared memory segment that previously has been
	   attached to. Returns true if successful, or false on error. See
	   shmdt.

       addr
	   Returns the address of the shared memory that has been attached to
	   in a format suitable for use with "pack('P')". Returns "undef" if
	   the shared memory has not been attached.
