+ \class Dialog
+
+ \brief This class is a simple example of how to use QSharedMemory.
+
+ It is a simple dialog that presents a few buttons. To compile the
+ example, run make in qt/examples/ipc. Then run the executable twice
+ to create two processes running the dialog. In one of the processes,
+ press the button to load an image into a shared memory segment, and
+ then select an image file to load. Once the first process has loaded
+ and displayed the image, in the second process, press the button to
+ read the same image from shared memory. The second process displays
+ the same image loaded from its new loaction in shared memory.
+*/
+
+/*!
+ The class contains a data member \l {QSharedMemory} {sharedMemory},
+ which is initialized with the key "QSharedMemoryExample" to force
+ all instances of Dialog to access the same shared memory segment.
+ The constructor also connects the clicked() signal from each of the
+ three dialog buttons to the slot function appropriate for handling
+ each button.

+/*!
+ This slot function is called when the \tt {Load Image From File...}
+ button is pressed on the firs Dialog process. First, it tests
+ whether the process is already connected to a shared memory segment
+ and, if so, detaches from that segment. This ensures that we always
+ start the example from the beginning if we run it multiple times
+ with the same two Dialog processes. After detaching from an existing
+ shared memory segment, the user is prompted to select an image file.
+ The selected file is loaded into a QImage. The QImage is displayed
+ in the Dialog and streamed into a QBuffer with a QDataStream.
+
+ Next, it gets a new shared memory segment from the system big enough
+ to hold the image data in the QBuffer, and it locks the segment to
+ prevent the second Dialog process from accessing it. Then it copies
+ the image from the QBuffer into the shared memory segment. Finally,
+ it unlocks the shared memory segment so the second Dialog process
+ can access it.
+
+ After this function runs, the user is expected to press the \tt
+ {Load Image from Shared Memory} button on the second Dialog process.
