 * pg_shmem.h
 *	  Platform-independent API for shared memory support.
 *
 * Every port is expected to support shared memory with approximately
 * SysV-ish semantics; in particular, a memory block is not anonymous
 * but has an ID, and we must be able to tell whether there are any
 * remaining processes attached to a block of a specified ID.
 *
 * To simplify life for the SysV implementation, the ID is assumed to
 * consist of two unsigned long values (these are key and ID in SysV
 * terms).  Other platforms may ignore the second value if they need
 * only one ID number.
