# shm_attach

(PHP 3>= 3.0.6, PHP 4 )

shm_attach -- Creates or open a shared memory segment

## Description

int shm_attach ( int key [, int memsize [, int perm]])

shm_attach() returns an id that that can be used to access the System V shared memory with the given key, the first call creates the shared memory segment with mem_size (default: sysvshm.init_mem in the configuration file, otherwise 10000 bytes) and the optional perm-bits (default: 0666).

A second call to shm_attach() for the same `key` will return a different shared memory identifier, but both identifiers access the same underlying shared memory. `Memsize` and `perm` will be ignored.

See also: ftok().
