     * Create and make accessable a shared memory segment.

     * A note about Anonymous vs. Named shared memory segments:<br />
     *         Not all plaforms support anonymous shared memory segments, but in
     *         some cases it is prefered over other types of shared memory
     *         implementations. Passing a NULL 'file' parameter to this function
     *         will cause the subsystem to use anonymous shared memory segments.
     *         If such a system is not available, APR_ENOTIMPL is returned.
     * <br />
     * A note about allocation sizes:<br />
     *         On some platforms it is necessary to store some metainformation
     *         about the segment within the actual segment. In order to supply
     *         the caller with the requested size it may be necessary for the
     *         implementation to request a slightly greater segment length
     *         from the subsystem. In all cases, the apr_shm_baseaddr_get()
     *         function will return the first usable byte of memory.
     * @param reqsize The desired size of the segment.
     * @param filename The file to use for shared memory on platforms that
     *        require it.
     * @param pool the pool from which to allocate the shared memory
     *        structure.
     * @return The created shared memory structure.
