 * @class ACE_Shared_Memory

 * @brief This base class adapts both System V shared memory and "BSD"
 * mmap to a common API.
 *
 * This is a very simple-minded wrapper, i.e., it really is only
 * useful for allocating large contiguous chunks of shared
 * memory.  For a much more sophisticated version, please check
 * out the <ACE_Malloc> class.
