When one uses the term "shared memory" while discussing Unix, then what is generally the meaning of that term? I have read that some Unixes have "shared memory" for "shared objects."
However, I believe the term "shared memory" more generically refers to user space as opposed to kernel space? Further, the kernel should allocate and deallocate memory for user space as requested so as not to crash the system. If this is correct, then it is very unlikely that a program running in user space will ever crash a properly configured unix system? Thank you for your patience.
