(1) That's <sys/shm.h>, not <sys/smh.h>.
(2) man shmget (and shmat, shmdt, and shmctl) for actual useful info.
(3) If you're going to refer people to header files rather than man
pages, at least refer them to header files that tell them
something. :-) sys/shm.h, and the files it #includes, are
not particularly helpful except for providing struct
definitions.
