Summary	0000363: shmget() redundant condition for error [EINVAL]
Description	The shmget() function shall fail with error [EINVAL] if "No shared memory segment is to be created and a shared memory segment exists for key but the size of the segment associated with it is less than size and size is not 0". However, if the size of the segment is less than the size argument, then the size argument is guaranteed to be nonzero, as both are unsigned values. Thus, the last condition is redundant and should be removed.
Desired Action	Remove the words "and size is not 0" from the above description of [EINVAL].
