Shared library with acces to shared memory.

Hello. I am new to this forum and I would like to ask for advice about low level POSIX programming. I have to implement a POSIX compliant C shared library. A file will have some variables and the shared library will have some functions which need those variables. There is one special...

ulimit (memory) HPUX

Hi all, I am setting the memory allocation to 3GB for each user on HPUX 11.23. I have added ulimit -m 3145728 into the profiles for root and user "X". When I do ulimit -a for each user I get conflicting values: user root: memory(kbytes) 3145728 user "X": memory(kbytes) ...

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.

How can I get HPUX memory?

Hello! I need to know the HPUX RAM memory (used & free). When I use the "top" command, I get three values: <<Memory: 284372K (135276K) real, 236604K (140740K) virtual, 600220K free>> What does it mean the number in brackets? And... Is it RAM Memory? Thx in advance!

Shared memory in shared library

getpagesize

GETPAGESIZE(2)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						    GETPAGESIZE(2)

NAME

       getpagesize - get memory page size

SYNOPSIS

       #include <unistd.h>

       int getpagesize(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  function  getpagesize()  returns  the  number of bytes in a page, where a "page" is the thing used where it says in the description of
       mmap(2) that files are mapped in page-sized units.

       The size of the kind of pages that mmap uses, is found using

	      #include <unistd.h>
	      long sz = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE);

       (where some systems also allow the synonym _SC_PAGE_SIZE for _SC_PAGESIZE), or

	      #include <unistd.h>
	      int sz = getpagesize();

HISTORY

       This call first appeared in 4.2BSD.

CONFORMING TO

       SVr4, 4.4BSD, SUSv2.  In SUSv2 the getpagesize() call is labeled "legacy", and in POSIX 1003.1-2001 it has been	dropped.   HPUX  does  not
       have this call.

NOTES

       Whether	getpagesize()  is  present  as a Linux system call depends on the architecture.  If it is, it returns the kernel symbol PAGE_SIZE,
       which is architecture and machine model dependent.  Generally, one uses binaries that are architecture but not machine model dependent,	in
       order  to have a single binary distribution per architecture. This means that a user program should not find PAGE_SIZE at compile time from
       a header file, but use an actual system call, at least for those architectures (like sun4)  where  this	dependency  exists.   Here  libc4,
       libc5,  glibc  2.0  fail  because their getpagesize() returns a statically derived value, and does not use a system call.  Things are OK in
       glibc 2.1.
