 *
 * shm_toc.h
 *    shared memory segment table of contents
 *
 * This is intended to provide a simple way to divide a chunk of shared
 * memory (probably dynamic shared memory allocated via dsm_create) into
 * a number of regions and keep track of the addresses of those regions or
 * key data structures within those regions.  This is not intended to
 * scale to a large number of keys and will perform poorly if used that
 * way; if you need a large number of pointers, store them within some
 * other data structure within the segment and only put the pointer to
 * the data structure itself in the table of contents.
