SHMDT(3)                   POSIX Programmer's Manual                  SHMDT(3)



PPRROOLLOOGG
       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.

       shmdt -- XSI shared memory detach operation

       #include <sys/shm.h>

       int shmdt(const void *_s_h_m_a_d_d_r);

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The _s_h_m_d_t() function operates on XSI shared memory (see the Base
       Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2017, _S_e_c_t_i_o_n _3_._3_4_6, _S_h_a_r_e_d _M_e_m_o_r_y
       _O_b_j_e_c_t).  It is unspecified whether this function interoperates with
       the realtime interprocess communication facilities defined in _S_e_c_t_i_o_n
       _2_._8, _R_e_a_l_t_i_m_e.

       The _s_h_m_d_t() function detaches the shared memory segment located at the
       address specified by _s_h_m_a_d_d_r from the address space of the calling
       process.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       Upon successful completion, _s_h_m_d_t() shall decrement the value of
       _s_h_m___n_a_t_t_c_h in the data structure associated with the shared memory ID
       of the attached shared memory segment and return 0. Also, the _s_h_m___d_t_i_m_e
       timestamp shall be set to the current time, as described in _S_e_c_t_i_o_n
       _2_._7_._1, _I_P_C _G_e_n_e_r_a_l _D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n.

       Otherwise, the shared memory segment shall not be detached, _s_h_m_d_t()
       shall return -1, and _e_r_r_n_o shall be set to indicate the error.

EERRRROORRSS
       The _s_h_m_d_t() function shall fail if:

       EEIINNVVAALL The value of _s_h_m_a_d_d_r is not the data segment start address of a
              shared memory segment.

AAPPPPLLIICCAATTIIOONN UUSSAAGGEE
       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 _S_e_c_t_i_o_n _2_._7, _X_S_I _I_n_t_e_r_p_r_o_c_e_s_s _C_o_m_m_u_n_i_c_a_t_i_o_n can be easily
       modified to use the alternative interfaces.
