+These examples demonstrate IPC support in Qt.
+
+The example launcher provided with Qt can be used to explore each of the
+examples in this directory.
+
+Documentation for these examples can be found via the Tutorial and Examples
+link in the main Qt documentation.
+
+
+Finding the Qt Examples and Demos launcher
+==========================================
+
+On Windows:
+
+The launcher can be accessed via the Windows Start menu. Select the menu
+entry entitled "Qt Examples and Demos" entry in the submenu containing
+the Qt tools.
+
+On Mac OS X:
+
+For the binary distribution, the qtdemo executable is installed in the
+/Developer/Applications/Qt directory. For the source distribution, it is
+installed alongside the other Qt tools on the path specified when Qt is
+configured.
+
+On Unix/Linux:
+
+The qtdemo executable is installed alongside the other Qt tools on the path
+specified when Qt is configured.
+
+On all platforms:
+
+The source code for the launcher can be found in the demos/qtdemo directory
+in the Qt package. This example is built at the same time as the Qt libraries,
+tools, examples, and demonstrations.

+  \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.
