If the +segment does not exist, it is created and a pointer to the related +``PRSharedMemory`` structure is returned. + +When parameter ``create`` is 0, and the shared memory exists, a pointer +to a ``PRSharedMemory`` structure is returned. If the shared memory does +not exist, ``NULL`` is returned with the error set to +``PR_FILE_NOT_FOUND_ERROR``. -- cgit v1.2.3
