STRUCTURES
     Events:
     typedef struct {
	 int type;		 /* of event */
	 unsigned long serial;	 /* # of last request processed by server*/
	 Bool send_event;	 /* true if this came from a SendEvent request*/
	 Display *display;	 /* Display the event was read from */
	 Drawable drawable;	 /* drawable of request */
	 int major_code;	 /* ShmReqCode */
	 int minor_code;	 /* X_ShmPutImage */
	 ShmSeg shmseg; 	 /* the ShmSeg used in the request*/
	 unsigned long offset;	 /* the offset into ShmSeg used in the request*/
     } XShmCompletionEvent;

     a structure of type XShmSegmentInfo :

     typedef struct {
	 ShmSeg shmseg;      /* resource id */
	 int shmid;	     /* kernel id */
	 char *shmaddr;      /* address in client */
	 Bool readOnly;      /* how the server should attach it */
     } XShmSegmentInfo;

DESCRIPTION
     XShmQueryExtension checks to see if the shared memory extensions are avail-
     able for the specified display.

     XShmQueryVersion returns the version numbers of the  extension  implementa-
     tion.  Shared  memory pixmaps are supported if the pixmaps argument returns
     true.

     XShmAttach tells the server to attach to your shared memory segment. If all
     goes well, you will get a non-zero status, back and your  XImage  is  ready
     for use.

     XShmDetach tells the server to detach from your shared memory segment.

     XShmPutImage  combines  an  image	in  memory with a shape of the specified
     drawable. If XYBitmap format is used, the depth must be one,  or  a  ``Bad-
     Match''  error  results.  The foreground pixel in the GC defines the source
     for the one bits in the image, and the background pixel defines the  source
     for the zero bits. For XYPixmap and ZPixmap, the depth must match the depth
     of the drawable, or a ``BadMatch'' error results.

     XShmGetImage  reads image data into a shared memory XImage where display is
     the display of interest, drawable is the source drawable, image is the des-
     tination XImage, x and y are offsets within the  drawable,  and  plane_mask
     defines which planes are to be read.

     XShmCreateImage allocates the memory needed for an XImage structure for the
     specified display but does not allocate space for the image itself.

     XShmPixmapFormat  gets  the  format for the server. If your application can
     deal with the server pixmap  data	format,  a  shared  memory  segment  and
     shminfo structure are created.

     XShmCreatePixmap  points to a pixmap which you can manipulate in all of the
     usual ways, with the added bonus of being able to	edit  its  contents  di-
     rectly through the shared memory segment.

     XShmGetEventBase gets the completion event value.
