Summary	0000640: shmget() ambiguous wording for ENOMEM
Description	The current description of the ENOMEM error for shmget() is: "A shared memory identifier and associated shared memory segment shall be created, but the amount of available physical memory is not sufficient to fill the request." This could be mistakenly interpreted as "A shared memory segment will be created with less than the requested memory."
Desired Action	Change "shall be created" to "is to be created".
