The anonymous file-mapped shared memory provides an inheritable +** shared memory, as in: the child process inherits the shared memory. +** Compare the file-mapped anonymous shared memory to to a named shared +** memory described in prshm.h. The intent is to provide a shared +** memory that is accessable only by parent and child processes. ... +** It's a security thing. +** +** Depending on the underlying platform, the file-mapped shared memory +** may be backed by a file. ... surprise! ... On some platforms, no +** real file backs the shared memory. On platforms where the shared +** memory is backed by a file, the file's name in the filesystem is +** visible to other processes for only the duration of the creation of +** the file, hopefully a very short time. This restricts processess +** that do not inherit the shared memory from opening the file and +** reading or writing its contents. Further, when all processes +** using an anonymous shared memory terminate, the backing file is +** deleted. ... If you are not paranoid, you're not paying attention. +** +** The file-mapped shared memory requires a protocol for the parent +** process and child process to share the memory. NSPR provides two +** protocols. Use one or the other; don't mix and match. +** +** In the first protocol, the job of passing the inheritable shared +** memory is done via helper-functions with PR_CreateProcess(). In the +** second protocol, the parent process is responsible for creating the +** child process; the parent and child are mutually responsible for +** passing a FileMap string. NSPR provides helper functions for +** extracting data from the PRFileMap object. ... See the examples +** below. +** +** Both sides should adhere strictly to the protocol for proper +** operation. The pseudo-code below shows the use of a file-mapped +** shared memory by a parent and child processes. In the examples, the +** server creates the file-mapped shared memory, the client attaches to +** it. +** +** First protocol. +** Server: +** +** fm = PR_OpenAnonFileMap(dirName, size, FilemapProt); +** addr = PR_MemMap(fm); +** attr = PR_NewProcessAttr(); +** PR_ProcessAttrSetInheritableFileMap( attr, fm, shmname ); +** PR_CreateProcess(Client); +** PR_DestroyProcessAttr(attr); +** ... yadda ... +** PR_MemUnmap( addr ); +** PR_CloseFileMap(fm); +** +** +** Client: +** ... started by server via PR_CreateProcess() +** fm = PR_GetInheritedFileMap( shmname ); +** addr = PR_MemMap(fm); +** ... yadda ... +** PR_MemUnmap(addr); +** PR_CloseFileMap(fm); +** +** +** Second Protocol: +** Server: +** +** fm = PR_OpenAnonFileMap(dirName, size, FilemapProt); +** fmstring = PR_ExportFileMapAsString( fm ); +** addr = PR_MemMap(fm); +** ... application specific technique to pass fmstring to child +** ... yadda ...
