This is a simple tool that dumps shared memory segments (System V and POSIX), files and text. It might be useful when you have to debug programs that use shared memory.

Features

Dumps System V (shmget, shmat API) and POSIX (shm_open...) shared memory
Also dumps files (like cat) and text (like echo)
Several objects can be dumped in one run
Useful for debugging purposes
Works with Linux, FreeBSD and probably other un*x like systems
Comes with an optional utility to calculate System V IPC keys via the ftok(3) library function
