ipcrm: Delete a shared memory segment by ID.
$ ipcrm --shmem-id ${shmem_id}
try on your machine

The command "ipcrm" is used to remove the System V interprocess communication (IPC) resources, including shared memory segments, message queues, and semaphore arrays. In this specific command, we are using the "ipcrm" command to remove a shared memory segment.

The "--shmem-id" option is used to specify the identifier of the shared memory segment that needs to be removed. The identifier, represented as "${shmem_id}", is a variable that should be replaced with the actual shared memory segment identifier.

So, when running the command "ipcrm --shmem-id ${shmem_id}", it will remove the shared memory segment with the specified identifier "${shmem_id}".
