>Description:

	In /usr/include/sys/sem.h, the constants SEM_R and SEM_A are
	surrounded by an #ifdef KERNEL block, making them inaccessible
	to user code.  I'm reading Stevens (_Advanced Programming in the
	UNIX Environment_).  I'm assuming that the SysV IPC examples
	should work in FreeBSD.

	Cursory inspection also reveals that SHM_R and SHM_A aren't
	defined anywhere.

	PS.  Thanks for a great OS!

>How-To-Repeat:

	n/a

>Fix:
	
	move constants out of #ifdef block
