Usage

The addresses of the shared-memory segments start at the SHMBASE value and grow until the upper-bound limit, which is platform specific.

Do not change the value of SHMBASE. The onconfig.std value for SHMBASE depends on the platform and whether the processor is 32-bit or 64-bit. For information on which SHMBASE value to use, see the machine notes.
