That's up to the application. After calling dsm_create(), you call
dsm_segment_handle() to get the 32-bit integer handle for that

If you're trying to share a handle with a background worker, you can
stuff it in bgw_main_arg. Otherwise, you'll probably need to store it
in the main shared memory segment, or a file, or whatever.
Well, that works for sysv shm, sure. But I was interested (possibly
from Konstantin)
how the handle transfer takes place at the moment, particularly if it is
possible
to create additional segments dynamically. I haven't looked at the
extension at all.
