Hi Guys,
I am trying to implement a chat server application in C language,which needs to store all the messages using shared memory. Is there any such application available or can I get some source code for this . Guys please help me out ASAP.

This sounds like a homework problem. We're not here to do your homework for you.

Yes, there are many "chat servers" out there. For example many IRC server daemons are open source. But they're terribly complicated, and may not even be what you want.

There is a lot of good information on how to use shared memory. I doubt you will find code to do what you want, but it is not that complicated, so you should be able to learn it with a few hours of work.

For an example of shared memory: http://mia.ece.uic.edu/~papers/WWW/m...s/shared-mem.c

Google is your best friend for this type of information...
