+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+command manipulates the named POSIX shared memory segments.
+It allows inspecting existing segments, dumping their metadata or contents,
+and unlinking them.
+.Pp
+Unlinking removes the name from the system and, when the last process
+unmaps the segment and closes file descriptor pointing to the segment,
+frees underlying memory.
+.Pp
+The number of hard links as displayed by the
+.Ic stat
+subcommand, is equal to the number of references to the underlying VM
+object.
+It is almost always equal to the number of mappings +1, except
+for transient references.
+.Pp
+The following subcommands are provided:
+.Bl -tag -width truncate
+.It Ic create
+Create segments with the specified paths, if not exist.
+The
+.Ar mode
+optional numerical argument specifies initial access mode.
+.It Ic rm
+Unlink the paths specified.
+.It Ic ls
+List all linked named shared memory segments visible to the caller.
+For each segment, the user and group owner, size, and path are displayed.
+.It Ic dump
+Output raw bytes values from the segment to standard output.
+.It Ic stat
+Print metadata for the specified path, in the format similar to the
+.Xr stat 1
+utility.
+.It Ic truncate
+Change the length of the segments.
+Argument to the
+.Fl s
+option specifies new length, the human-friendly 'k', 'm', 'g' suffixes
+can be used, see
+.Xr expand_number 3.
+If the option is not specified, assumed length is zero.
+.El
+.Pp
+For some commands, the following options may be provided:
+.Bl -tag XX
+.It Fl h
+If specified, requests human-readable display of size, see
+.Xr humanize_number 3 .
+.It Fl n
+Prevent translation of owner and group into symbolic names
+using name-switch services, instead the raw numeric values are printed.
+.El
+.Sh EXIT STATUS
+.Ex -std
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+.Bl -bullet
+.It
+To show content of the shared memory segment with the path
+.Pa /1 ,
+use the command
+.Dl "posixshmcontrol dump /q | hexdump -C"
+.It
+To create a segment with the path
+.Pa /2
+and then enlarge it to 1M, use the sequence of commands
+.Dl "posixshmcontrol create /2"
+.Dl "posixshmcontrol truncate -s 1m /2"
