I don't normally read that group, but I suscribed to it just to find out if my question at the end of that post got answered, and it didn't. So one more time: HP-UX documents it; it tests out on A/UX 1.1 and Ultrix 4.0 : the first call to shmat() (by any process) automatically zeroes out the shm seg, so explicit initialization is NOT necessary. Is this standard? Which one? -- BURNS,JIM Georgia Institute of Technology, Box 30178, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 uucp: ...!{decvax,hplabs,ncar,purdue,rutgers}!gatech!prism!gt0178a Internet: gt0178a@prism.gatech.edu
