- ** prshm.h -- NSPR Shared Memory
- **
- ** NSPR Named Shared Memory API provides a cross-platform named
- ** shared-memory interface. NSPR Named Shared Memory is modeled on
- ** similar constructs in Unix and Windows operating systems. Shared
- ** memory allows multiple processes to access one or more common shared
- ** memory regions, using it as an inter-process communication channel.
- **
- ** Notes on Platform Independence:
- ** NSPR Named Shared Memory is built on the native services offered
- ** by most platforms. The NSPR Named Shared Memory API tries to
- ** provide a least common denominator interface so that it works
- ** across all supported platforms. To ensure that it works everywhere,
- ** some platform considerations must be accomodated and the protocol
- ** for using NSPR Shared Memory API must be observed.
- **
- ** Protocol:
- ** Multiple shared memories can be created using NSPR's Shared Memory
- ** feature. For each named shared memory, as defined by the name
- ** given in the PR_OpenSharedMemory() call, a protocol for using the
- ** shared memory API is required to ensure desired behavior. Failing
- ** to follow the protocol may yield unpredictable results.
- **
- ** PR_OpenSharedMemory() will create the shared memory segment, if it
- ** does not already exist, or open a connection that the existing
- ** shared memory segment if it already exists.
- **
- ** PR_AttachSharedMemory() should be called following
- ** PR_OpenSharedMemory() to map the memory segment to an address in
- ** the application's address space.
- **
- ** PR_AttachSharedMemory() may be called to re-map a shared memory
- ** segment after detaching the same PRSharedMemory object. Be
- ** sure to detach it when done.
- **
- ** PR_DetachSharedMemory() should be called to un-map the shared
- ** memory segment from the application's address space.
- **
- ** PR_CloseSharedMemory() should be called when no further use of the
- ** PRSharedMemory object is required within a process. Following a
- ** call to PR_CloseSharedMemory() the PRSharedMemory object is
- ** invalid and cannot be reused.
- **
- ** PR_DeleteSharedMemory() should be called before process
- ** termination. After calling PR_DeleteSharedMemory() any further use
- ** of the shared memory associated with the name may cause
- ** unpredictable results.
- **
- ** Files:
- ** The name passed to PR_OpenSharedMemory() should be a valid filename
- ** for a unix platform. PR_OpenSharedMemory() creates file using the
- ** name passed in. Some platforms may mangle the name before creating
- ** the file and the shared memory.
- **
- ** The unix implementation may use SysV IPC shared memory, Posix
- ** shared memory, or memory mapped files; the filename may used to
- ** define the namespace. On Windows, the name is significant, but
- ** there is no file associated with name.
- **
- ** No assumptions about the persistence of data in the named file
- ** should be made. Depending on platform, the shared memory may be
- ** mapped onto system paging space and be discarded at process
- ** termination.
- **
- ** All names provided to PR_OpenSharedMemory() should be valid
- ** filename syntax or name syntax for shared memory for the target
- ** platform. Referenced directories should have permissions
- ** appropriate for writing.
- **
- ** Limits:
- ** Different platforms have limits on both the number and size of
- ** shared memory resources. The default system limits on some
- ** platforms may be smaller than your requirements. These limits may
- ** be adjusted on some platforms either via boot-time options or by
- ** setting the size of the system paging space to accomodate more
- ** and/or larger shared memory segment(s).
- **
- ** Security:
- ** On unix platforms, depending on implementation, contents of the
- ** backing store for the shared memory can be exposed via the file
- ** system. Set permissions and or access controls at create and attach
- ** time to ensure you get the desired security.
- **
- ** On windows platforms, no special security measures are provided.
- **
- ** Example:
- ** The test case pr/tests/nameshm1.c provides an example of use as
- ** well as testing the operation of NSPR's Named Shared Memory.

- ** FUNCTION: PR_OpenSharedMemory()
- **
- ** DESCRIPTION:
- ** PR_OpenSharedMemory() creates a new shared-memory segment or
- ** associates a previously created memory segment with name.
- **
- ** When parameter create is (PR_SHM_EXCL | PR_SHM_CREATE) and the
- ** shared memory already exists, the function returns NULL with the
- ** error set to PR_FILE_EXISTS_ERROR.
- **
- ** When parameter create is PR_SHM_CREATE and the shared memory
- ** already exists, a handle to that memory segment is returned. If
- ** the segment does not exist, it is created and a pointer to the
- ** related PRSharedMemory structure is returned.
- **
- ** When parameter create is 0, and the shared memory exists, a
- ** pointer to a PRSharedMemory is returned. If the shared memory does
- ** not exist, NULL is returned with the error set to
- ** PR_FILE_NOT_FOUND_ERROR.
- **
- ** INPUTS:

- ** size -- the size of the shared memory segment.
- ** flags -- Options for creating the shared memory

- ** OUTPUTS:

- ** RETURNS: Pointer to opaque structure PRSharedMemory or NULL.
