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. +** +** lth. 18-Aug-1999. +*/ + +#ifndef prshm_h___ +#define prshm_h___ + +#include "prtypes.h" +#include "prio.h" + +PR_BEGIN_EXTERN_C + +/* +** Declare opaque type PRSharedMemory. +*/ +typedef struct PRSharedMemory PRSharedMemory; + +/* +** 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.
