Log message:
start of an admin tool for FreeBSD to help configure shared memory for
that machine

I kept the name as generic as possible though, as other OS should have
similar methods, so this can be extended "as appropriate" ...

Isn't this something that should go into the documentation? AFAICT, the
program itself doesn't do anything except for a couple of multiplications
and printing messages.

I'm *hoping* that others, using other OSs, will increase its
functionality ... it was a start, meant to show how 'configuring the OS'
could be simplified ... from discussions over the years, most ppl don't
want to have to perform the calculations themselves or read the docs on
how to do thing (ala createuser createdb) ... this simplifies the process
for those under FreeBSD, and, I imagine, relatively easily extends into
those using Linux, and possible the other OSs ...
