=head1 NAME

IPC::Shareable::SharedMem - Object oriented interface to shared memory

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 *** No public interface ***

=head1 WARNING

This module is not intended for public consumption.  It is used
internally by IPC::Shareable to access shared memory.  It will
probably be replaced soon by IPC::ShareLite or IPC::SharedMem (when
someone writes it).

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides and object-oriented framework to access shared
memory.  Its use is intended to be limited to IPC::Shareable.
Therefore I have not documented an interface.
