The document describes a C program that uses shared memory and semaphores for interprocess communication between a server and client process. The server creates a shared memory segment and semaphore, writes a string to the shared memory, and releases the resources. The client accesses the same shared memory and semaphore, reads the string from shared memory, and releases the resources. Sample output shows the server writing "THIS IS A TEST ONLY A TEST" to shared memory, and the client reading the same string.
