The OSSP mm library is a 2-layer abstraction library which simplifies
|
1999-03-29 22:15:06 -05:00
|
|
|
the usage of shared memory between forked (and this way strongly
|
|
|
|
|
related) processes under Unix platforms. On the first layer it
|
|
|
|
|
hides all platform dependent implementation details (allocation
|
|
|
|
|
and locking) when dealing with shared memory segments and on the
|
|
|
|
|
second layer it provides a high-level malloc(3)-style API for a
|
|
|
|
|
convenient and well known way to work with data-structures inside
|

|
|
|
those shared memory segments.
