       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 &amp; 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.

       The permissions that you wish to assign to your memory segment, those
