Swappability of shared memory

Hi!

I would like to ask: Is it presently possible to swap-out shared
memoryh segments? [Probably not an issue for shared libraries as they
are on-demand loaded, but if I allocate memory by shmget() and then
die...]

Second: Is it possible to somehow determine what sysV ipc primitives
are in use (for example to destroy shared memory allocated by
already-dead processes etc.)? Hmm, I found syscall (shmctl) but I
would like utility...
