Shared memory in shared library

I need to create a shared library to access an in memory DB. The DB is not huge, but big enough to make it cumbersome to carry around in every single process using the shared library. Luckily, it is pretty static information, so I don't need to worry much about synchronizing the data between... (12 Replies)

Shared memory for shared library

I am writing a shared library in Linux (but compatible with other UNIXes) and I want to allow multiple instances to share a piece of memory -- 1 byte is enough. What's the "best" way to do this? I want to optimize for speed and portability. Obviously, I'll have to worry about mutual exclusion. (0 Replies)

NAME
ipcrm -- remove the specified message queues, semaphore sets, and shared memory segments SYNOPSIS
ipcrm [-M shmkey] [-m shmid] [-Q msgkey] [-q msqid] [-S semkey] [-s semid] ... DESCRIPTION
Ipcrm removes the specified message queues, semaphores and shared memory segments. These System V IPC objects can be specified by their cre- ation id or any associated key. The following options are used to specify which IPC objects will be removed. Any number and combination of these options can be used: -M shmkey Mark the shared memory segment associated with key shmkey for removal. This marked segment will be destroyed after the last detach. -m shmid Mark the shared memory segment associated with id shmid for removal. This marked segment will be destroyed after the last detach. -Q msgkey Remove the message queue associated with key msgkey from the system. -q msqid Remove the message queue associated with the id msqid from the system. -S semkey Remove the semaphore set associated with key semkey from the system. -s semid Removes the semaphore set associated with id semid from the system. The identifiers and keys associated with these System V IPC objects can be determined by using ipcs(1) SEE ALSO
