The MM library is a 2-layer abstraction library which simplifies the usage
|
||
|
|
of shared memory between forked (and this way strongly related) processes
|
||
|
|
under Unix platforms. On the first (lower) layer it hides all platform
|
||
|
|
dependent implementation details (allocation and locking) when dealing with
|
||
|
|
shared memory segments and on the second (higher) 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.
