hi,
in shmctl(2) man page the ipc_perm struct contains a key field 
while /usr/include/bits/ipc.h (included in /usr/include/sys/ipc.h) ipc_perm 
has a __key field.
which is the error? the h header or the man page?
thank you for your attention.

Thanks for spotting this.  Of course, it is the man page that is in error.
And in fact the same problem is present for the seq field.  And the same
problems are also present in the semctl(2) and msgctl(2) pages.  All of
this has been fixed for man-pages-3.07.

Thanks for your report!

Cheers

Michael
