I am having problems using shm_unlink() on Panther. Is anyone using this system call successfully on OS X? After failure, errno is set to EINVAL (which is not even one of the documented possible errors). I'm attaching a fairly simple test case that works on FreeBSD and Linux. My recollection is that the name must not have any slashes (i.e. it's a name and not a path). I think also that there's a 31-character limit. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
