/*
** prshm.h -- NSPR Shared Memory
**
** NSPR Named Shared Memory API provides a cross-platform named
** shared-memory interface. NSPR Named Shared Memory is modeled on
** similar constructs in Unix and Windows operating systems. Shared
** memory allows multiple processes to access one or more common shared
** memory regions, using it as an inter-process communication channel.
**
** Notes on Platform Independence:
** NSPR Named Shared Memory is built on the native services offered
** by most platforms. The NSPR Named Shared Memory API tries to
** provide a least common denominator interface so that it works
** across all supported platforms. To ensure that it works everywhere,
** some platform considerations must be accomodated and the protocol
** for using NSPR Shared Memory API must be observed.
**
** Protocol:
** Multiple shared memories can be created using NSPR's Shared Memory
** feature. For each named shared memory, as defined by the name
** given in the PR_OpenSharedMemory() call, a protocol for using the
** shared memory API is required to ensure desired behavior. Failing
** to follow the protocol may yield unpredictable results.
**
** PR_OpenSharedMemory() will create the shared memory segment, if it
** does not already exist, or open a connection that the existing
** shared memory segment if it already exists.
**
** PR_AttachSharedMemory() should be called following
** PR_OpenSharedMemory() to map the memory segment to an address in
** the application's address space.
**
** PR_AttachSharedMemory() may be called to re-map a shared memory
** segment after detaching the same PRSharedMemory object. Be
** sure to detach it when done.
**
** PR_DetachSharedMemory() should be called to un-map the shared
** memory segment from the application's address space.
**
** PR_CloseSharedMemory() should be called when no further use of the
** PRSharedMemory object is required within a process. Following a
** call to PR_CloseSharedMemory() the PRSharedMemory object is
** invalid and cannot be reused.
**
** PR_DeleteSharedMemory() should be called before process
** termination. After calling PR_DeleteSharedMemory() any further use
** of the shared memory associated with the name may cause
** unpredictable results.
**
** Files:
** The name passed to PR_OpenSharedMemory() should be a valid filename
** for a unix platform. PR_OpenSharedMemory() creates file using the
** name passed in. Some platforms may mangle the name before creating
** the file and the shared memory.
**
** The unix implementation may use SysV IPC shared memory, Posix
** shared memory, or memory mapped files; the filename may used to
** define the namespace. On Windows, the name is significant, but
** there is no file associated with name.
**
** No assumptions about the persistence of data in the named file
** should be made. Depending on platform, the shared memory may be
** mapped onto system paging space and be discarded at process
** termination.
**
** All names provided to PR_OpenSharedMemory() should be valid
** filename syntax or name syntax for shared memory for the target
** platform. Referenced directories should have permissions
** appropriate for writing.
**
** Limits:
** Different platforms have limits on both the number and size of
** shared memory resources. The default system limits on some
** platforms may be smaller than your requirements. These limits may
** be adjusted on some platforms either via boot-time options or by
** setting the size of the system paging space to accomodate more
** and/or larger shared memory segment(s).
**
** Security:
** On unix platforms, depending on implementation, contents of the
** backing store for the shared memory can be exposed via the file
** system. Set permissions and or access controls at create and attach
** time to ensure you get the desired security.
**
** On windows platforms, no special security measures are provided.
**
** Example:
** The test case pr/tests/nameshm1.c provides an example of use as
** well as testing the operation of NSPR's Named Shared Memory.

/*
** FUNCTION: PR_OpenSharedMemory()
**
** DESCRIPTION:
** PR_OpenSharedMemory() creates a new shared-memory segment or
** associates a previously created memory segment with name.
**
** When parameter create is (PR_SHM_EXCL | PR_SHM_CREATE) and the
** shared memory already exists, the function returns NULL with the
** error set to PR_FILE_EXISTS_ERROR.
**
** When parameter create is PR_SHM_CREATE and the shared memory
** already exists, a handle to that memory segment is returned. If
** the segment does not exist, it is created and a pointer to the
** related PRSharedMemory structure is returned.
**
** When parameter create is 0, and the shared memory exists, a
** pointer to a PRSharedMemory is returned. If the shared memory does
** not exist, NULL is returned with the error set to
** PR_FILE_NOT_FOUND_ERROR.
**
** INPUTS:
** name -- the name the shared-memory segment is known as.
** size -- the size of the shared memory segment.
** flags -- Options for creating the shared memory
** mode -- Same as is passed to PR_Open()
**
** OUTPUTS:
** The shared memory is allocated.
**
** RETURNS: Pointer to opaque structure PRSharedMemory or NULL.
** NULL is returned on error. The reason for the error can be
** retrieved via PR_GetError() and PR_GetOSError();
