View Ref-File11.5.6.4  The directory U:\SHM                                     TOS

This directory serves as 'storage' for shared memory; so here one can 
create files that represent blocks of memory which other processes may 
access.

By using shared memory it is very ease to realise inter-process 
communication (IPC).
