Probably we do not understand the sentence correctly, so bear with me.
Currently, the man page reads as follows:
Program source: svshm_string.h
The following header file is included by the "reader" and "writer" programs.
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>
#include <sys/sem.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define errExit(msg) do { perror(msg); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); \
} while (0)
The sentence in question seems to refer to the next paragraph, i.e.
the beginning of the program source. There 7 header files (from
types.h up to string.h) are mentioned. In the translation we also
replaced the full stop by a colon. Since there are 7 header files, we
assume that it needs to be plural.
Now explaining this and reading it again, I think I understand the
sentence now (better). The header file is "svshm_string.h" and thus
singular. So logically (but it does not work in the overall formatting
of the man page), the first two lines above would need to be read in a
different order.
The following header file is included by the "reader" and "writer" programs.
Program source: svshm_string.h
If this interpetation is correct, maybe the following change could be
made:
Program source: svshm_string.h
This header file is included by the "reader" and "writer" programs:

Once I've your confirmation, I'll align the translation.
