I'm opening the objects via shm_open(3), though, which takes a character string as a name to identify the object. Is there a way to list the shared memory objects by name, or to just get the key<->name mapping? I'm mostly inte...

Perhaps this question is more suited for serverfault, but I'm going to try here first anyway...
