Constructors ShmOpenFlags shmReadWrite :: Bool If true, open the shm object read-write rather than read-only. shmCreate :: Bool If true, create the shm object if it does not exist. shmExclusive :: Bool If true, throw an exception if the shm object already exists. shmTrunc :: Bool If true, wipe the contents of the shm object after opening it.
