Vipin:

Your are mistaken, the address is not the valid process id, it is the
PHYSICAL address of the memory location where you want to peek/poke.
You need to supply the address of the object in the shared memory
semgent (for example if you want to read a block in the buffer cache
you need to supply the X$BH.BA , buffer address) after attaching that
segment to your process.

The third argument <value> takes the new value for that address
specified in <address>.
