>Description:
	In rev. 1.9 of shmget(2) documentation on the shmflg argument
	was added, which exposes the IPC_[RWM] identifiers defined in
	<sys/ipc.h>.  However, these identifiers are made available in
	_KERNEL environments only.

>How-To-Repeat:
	man shmget

>Fix:
	1) Remove reference to those identifiers.

	2) As for adding real documentation on the access bits, the
	   situation is currently unclear; while common sense suggests
	   that S_I[RW]{USR,GRP,OTH} from <sys/stat.h> should be used
	   (ipc_perm.mode is a mode_t, after all), the current 1003.1-200xD6
	   documents numerical (but congruent) values for XSI IPC only.
