                                                                                        explain_shmctl_or_die(3)

       The  explain_shmctl_or_die  function is used to call the shmctl(2) system call. On failure an explanation
       will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_shmctl(3) function, and then the process  terminates
       by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       The explain_shmctl_on_error function is used to call the shmctl(2) system call. On failure an explanation
       will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_shmctl(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

       shmid   The shmid, exactly as to be passed to the shmctl(2) system call.

       command The command, exactly as to be passed to the shmctl(2) system call.

       data    The data, exactly as to be passed to the shmctl(2) system call.

       The explain_shmctl_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
              explain_shmctl_or_die(shmid, command, data);

       explain_shmctl_or_die - shared memory control and report errors

       The  explain_shmctl_or_die  function  only  returns  on  success,  see shmctl(2) for more information. On
       failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not return.

       The explain_shmctl_on_error function always returns the value return  by  the  wrapped  shmctl(2)  system
       call.
