 **DESCRIPTION:**
 
+``mmap`` establishes a mapping between an address ``pa`` for ``len`` bytes to
+the memory object represented by the file descriptor ``fildes`` at offset
+``off`` for ``len`` bytes.  The value of ``pa`` is an implementation-defined
+function of the parameter addr and the values of ``flags``. A successful
+``mmap()`` call shall return ``pa`` as its result. An unsuccessful call returns
+``MAP_FAILED`` and sets ``errno`` accordingly. 
+
 **NOTES:**
 
+RTEMS is a single address space operating system without privilege separation
+between the kernel and user space. Therefore, the implementation of ``mmap``
+has a number of implementation-specific issues to be aware of:
+ * Read, write and execute permissions are allowed because the memory in RTEMS
+   does not normally have protections but we cannot hide access to memory.
+   Thus, the use of ``PROT_NONE`` for the ``prot`` argument is not supported.
+   Similarly, there is no restriction of write access, so ``PROT_WRITE`` must
+   be in the ``prot`` argument.
+ * Anonymous mappings must have ``fildes`` set to -1 and ``off`` set to 0.
+   Shared mappings are not supported with Anonymous mappings.
+ * ``MAP_FIXED`` is not supported for shared memory objects with ``MAP_SHARED``.
+ * Support for shared mappings is dependent on the underlying object's
+   filesystem implementation of an ``mmap_h`` file operation handler.

 **DESCRIPTION:**
 
+The ``shm_open()`` function shall establish a connection between a shared

+shared memory object. 
+
+If successful, ``shm_open()`` shall return a file descriptor for the shared
+memory object. Upon successful completion, the ``shm_open()`` function shall
+return a non-negative integer representing the file descriptor. Otherwise, it
+shall return -1 and set ``errno`` to indicate the error.
+
 **NOTES:**
 
+An application can set the ``_POSIX_Shm_Object_operations`` to control the
+behavior of shared memory objects when accessed via the file descriptor.
+
+The ``name`` must be valid for an RTEMS SuperCore Object.
