Hi,
shmget(2) mentions SHMMIN and SHMMAX.
But I don't see where they are defined and what their values are. Does
anybody know where they are defined?
gcc -E -dD - <<< '#include <sys/shm.h>' | grep 'SHMMAX\|SHMMIN'
--
Regards,
Peng

They are provided by the kernel headers since it is system specific
and glibc does not define them as extensions:
| $ gcc -E -dD - <<< '#include <linux/shm.h>' | grep 'SHMMAX\|SHMMIN'
| #define SHMMIN 1
| #define SHMMAX (ULONG_MAX - (1UL << 24))
