DESCRIPTION

96       XShmQueryExtension  checks  to  see if the shared memory extensions are
97       available for the specified display.
98
99       XShmQueryVersion returns the version numbers of the extension implemen‐
100       tation.  Shared  memory  pixmaps  are supported if the pixmaps argument
101       returns true.
102
103       XShmAttach tells the server to attach to your shared memory segment. If
104       all  goes well, you will get a non-zero status, back and your XImage is
105       ready for use.
106
107       XShmDetach tells the server to detach from your shared memory segment.
108
109       XShmPutImage combines an image in memory with a shape of the  specified
110       drawable.  If  XYBitmap  format  is  used,  the depth must be one, or a
111       ``BadMatch'' error results. The foreground pixel in the GC defines  the
112       source  for the one bits in the image, and the background pixel defines
113       the source for the zero bits. For XYPixmap and ZPixmap, the depth  must
114       match the depth of the drawable, or a ``BadMatch'' error results.
115
116       XShmGetImage reads image data into a shared memory XImage where display
117       is the display of interest, drawable is the source drawable,  image  is
118       the  destination  XImage,  x and y are offsets within the drawable, and
119       plane_mask defines which planes are to be read.
120
121       XShmCreateImage allocates the memory needed for an XImage structure for
122       the specified display but does not allocate space for the image itself.
123
124       XShmPixmapFormat  gets  the  format for the server. If your application
125       can deal with the server pixmap data format, a  shared  memory  segment
126       and shminfo structure are created.
127
128       XShmCreatePixmap  points to a pixmap which you can manipulate in all of
129       the usual ways, with the added bonus of being able to edit its contents
130       directly through the shared memory segment.
131
132       XShmGetEventBase gets the completion event value.
