libshbuf implements a new kind of IPC: the "shared buffer", a faster, more
|
||
|
|
flexible replacement for standard Unix FIFOs. It offers the following
|
||
|
|
advantages:
|
||
|
|
- Normally better latency and throughput
|
||
|
|
- Full access to the buffer at any time
|
||
|
|
- Connecting processes need not to be children of each other
|
||
|
|
- Arbitrary buffer lengths
|
||
|
|
- Memory mapped
|
||
|
|
- "Backlog"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The implementation is based on SysV shared memory, semaphores and message
|
||
|
|
queues. It makes use of POSIX pthreads.
