* @remark A note about Anonymous vs. Named shared memory segments:
* Not all plaforms support anonymous shared memory segments, but in
* some cases it is prefered over other types of shared memory
* implementations. Passing a NULL 'file' parameter to this function
* will cause the subsystem to use anonymous shared memory segments.
* If such a system is not available, APR_ENOTIMPL is returned.
* @remark A note about allocation sizes:
* On some platforms it is necessary to store some metainformation
* about the segment within the actual segment. In order to supply
* the caller with the requested size it may be necessary for the
* implementation to request a slightly greater segment length
* from the subsystem. In all cases, the apr_shm_baseaddr_get()
* function will return the first usable byte of memory.
