+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fn Shmat
+attaches the shared memory segment identifed by
+.Fa shmid
+to the calling process's address space. The address where the segment
+is attached is determined as follows:
+.\"
+.\" These are cribbed almost exactly from Stevens, _Advanced Programming in
+.\" the UNIX Environment_.
+.\"
+.Bl -bullet
+.It
+If
+.Fa addr
+is 0, the segment is attached at an address selected by the
+kernel.
+.It
+If
+.Fa addr
+is nonzero and SHM_RND is not specifed in
+.Fa flag ,
+the segment is attached the specified address.
+.It
+If
+.Fa addr
+is specified and SHM_RND is specified,
+.Fa addr
+is rounded down to the nearest multiple of SHMLBA.
+.El

+.Fn Shmdt
+detaches the shared memory segment at the address specified by
+.Fa addr
+from the calling process's address space.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon success,
+.Fn shmat
+returns the address where the segment is attached; otherwise, -1
+is returned and
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.Pp
+Upon success,
+.Fn shmdt
+returns 0; otherwise, -1 is returned and
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Fn Shmat
+will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+No shared memory segment was found corresponding to
+.Fa shmid .
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+.Fa addr
+was not an acceptable address.
