C - How do you use shmget()?

I've found some information on shmget() but all that I've found is written in a way that I'm having trouble understanding. Can anyone explain how to use it in a fairly simplistic way and give an example? Thanks a bunch!

This looked fairly straight forward:

Great that did help. Now I"m using something along the lines of:

Code:

shared_bookmarks = shmget(Book_Key, MAX_BOOKMARKS * sizeof(bookmarks), (0644 | IPC_CREAT));

Using this, how can I put a string into the shared memory and have it accessible via an ID number or the key?

Thanks again!
