The flags that you can use:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<simpara>
"a" for access (sets SHM_RDONLY for shmat)
use this flag when you need to open an existing shared memory
segment for read only
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
"c" for create (sets IPC_CREATE)
use this flag when you need to create a new shared memory segment
or if a segment with the same key exists, try to open it for read
and write
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
"w" for read & write access
use this flag when you need to read and write to a shared memory
segment, use this flag in most cases.
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
"n" create a new memory segment (sets IPC_CREATE|IPC_EXCL)
use this flag when you want to create a new shared memory segment
but if one already exists with the same flag, fail. This is useful
for security purposes, using this you can prevent race condition
exploits.

<para>
The permissions that you wish to assign to your memory segment, those
are the same as permission for a file. Permissions need to be passed
in octal form, like for example <literal>0644</literal>
