Engelschall, All rights reserved. + +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 layer it +hides all platform dependent implementation details (allocation +and locking) when dealing with shared memory segments and on the +second 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. + +The documentation and latest release can be found on +http://www.engelschall.com/sw/mm/ |
