Listing all shared memory segments used by a process on AIX5.3+
- by Frank Meerkötter
I would like to find all shared memory segments used by a given process. I am especially interested in figuring out the shmid so i can use it in calls to shmctl().
On Solaris i would just read /proc/$PID/map to figure out that information (field pr_shmid).
The contents of that file are defined by struct prmap_t in sys/procfs.
AIX also has a /proc/$PID/map file. There is also a struct prmap but unfortunately it is missing the pr_shmid field.
Any ideas how i can achieve this on AIX5.3+?
