SHMDT(3P) POSIX Programmer's ManualSHMDT(3P)This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
shmdt — XSI shared memory detach operation
#include <sys/shm.h> int shmdt(const void *shmaddr);
Theshmdt() function operates on XSI shared memory (see the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2017,Section 3.346,Shared MemoryObject). It is unspecified whether this function interoperates with the realtime interprocess communication facilities defined inSection 2.8,Realtime. Theshmdt() function detaches the shared memory segment located at the address specified byshmaddr from the address space of the calling process.
Upon successful completion,shmdt() shall decrement the value ofshm_nattch in the data structure associated with the shared memory ID of the attached shared memory segment and return 0. Also, theshm_dtime timestamp shall be set to the current time, as described inSection 2.7.1,IPC General Description. Otherwise, the shared memory segment shall not be detached,shmdt() shall return -1, anderrno shall be set to indicate the error.
Theshmdt() function shall fail if:EINVALThe value ofshmaddr is not the data segment start address of a shared memory segment.The following sections are informative.
None.
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 inSection 2.7,XSI Interprocess Communication can be easily modified to use the alternative interfaces.
