=head1 NAME

IPC::SharedMem - SysV Shared Memory IPC object class

=head1 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;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

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

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item new ( KEY , SIZE , FLAGS )

Creates a new shared memory segment associated with C<KEY>. A new
segment is created if

=over 4

=item *

C<KEY> is equal to C<IPC_PRIVATE>

=item *

C<KEY> does not already have a shared memory segment associated
with it, and C<I<FLAGS> & IPC_CREAT> is true.

=back

On creation of a new shared memory segment C<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.

=item id

Returns the shared memory identifier.

=item read ( POS, SIZE )

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

=item write ( STRING, POS, SIZE )

Write C<SIZE> bytes to the shared memory segment at C<POS>. Returns
true if successful, or false if there is an error. See L<shmwrite>.

=item remove

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

=item is_removed

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

=item stat

Returns an object of type C<IPC::SharedMem::stat> which is a sub-class
of C<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

=item attach ( [FLAG] )

Permanently attach to the shared memory segment. When a C<IPC::SharedMem>
object is attached, it will use L<memread> and L<memwrite> instead of
L<shmread> and L<shmwrite> for accessing the shared memory segment.
Returns true if successful, or false on error. See L<shmat>.

=item detach

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

=item addr

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