| 36 ** prshma.h -- NSPR Anonymous Shared Memory | |
| 37 ** | |
| 38 ** NSPR provides an anonymous shared memory based on NSPR's PRFileMap | |
| 39 ** type. The anonymous file-mapped shared memory provides an inheritable | |
| 40 ** shared memory, as in: the child process inherits the shared memory. | |
| 41 ** Compare the file-mapped anonymous shared memory to to a named shared | |
| 42 ** memory described in prshm.h. The intent is to provide a shared | |
| 43 ** memory that is accessable only by parent and child processes. ... | |
| 44 ** It's a security thing. | |
| 45 ** | |
| 46 ** Depending on the underlying platform, the file-mapped shared memory | |
| 47 ** may be backed by a file. ... surprise! ... On some platforms, no | |
| 48 ** real file backs the shared memory. On platforms where the shared | |
| 49 ** memory is backed by a file, the file's name in the filesystem is | |
| 50 ** visible to other processes for only the duration of the creation of | |
| 51 ** the file, hopefully a very short time. This restricts processess | |
| 52 ** that do not inherit the shared memory from opening the file and | |
| 53 ** reading or writing its contents. Further, when all processes | |
| 54 ** using an anonymous shared memory terminate, the backing file is | |
| 55 ** deleted. ... If you are not paranoid, you're not paying attention. | |
| 56 ** | |
| 57 ** The file-mapped shared memory requires a protocol for the parent | |
| 58 ** process and child process to share the memory. NSPR provides two | |
| 59 ** protocols. Use one or the other; don't mix and match. | |
| 60 ** | |
| 61 ** In the first protocol, the job of passing the inheritable shared | |
| 62 ** memory is done via helper-functions with PR_CreateProcess(). In the | |
| 63 ** second protocol, the parent process is responsible for creating the | |
| 64 ** child process; the parent and child are mutually responsible for | |
| 65 ** passing a FileMap string. NSPR provides helper functions for | |
| 66 ** extracting data from the PRFileMap object. ... See the examples | |
| 67 ** below. | |
| 68 ** | |
| 69 ** Both sides should adhere strictly to the protocol for proper | |
| 70 ** operation. The pseudo-code below shows the use of a file-mapped | |
| 71 ** shared memory by a parent and child processes. In the examples, the | |
| 72 ** server creates the file-mapped shared memory, the client attaches to | |
| 73 ** it. | |
| 74 ** | |
| 75 ** First protocol. | |
| 76 ** Server: | |
| 77 ** | |
| 78 ** fm = PR_OpenAnonFileMap(dirName, size, FilemapProt); | |
| 79 ** addr = PR_MemMap(fm); | |
| 80 ** attr = PR_NewProcessAttr(); | |
| 81 ** PR_ProcessAttrSetInheritableFileMap( attr, fm, shmname ); | |
| 82 ** PR_CreateProcess(Client); | |
| 83 ** PR_DestroyProcessAttr(attr); | |
| 84 ** ... yadda ... | |
| 85 ** PR_MemUnmap( addr ); | |
| 86 ** PR_CloseFileMap(fm); | |
| 87 ** | |
| 88 ** | |
| 89 ** Client: | |
| 90 ** ... started by server via PR_CreateProcess() | |
| 91 ** fm = PR_GetInheritedFileMap( shmname ); | |
| 92 ** addr = PR_MemMap(fm); | |
| 93 ** ... yadda ... | |
| 94 ** PR_MemUnmap(addr); | |
| 95 ** PR_CloseFileMap(fm); | |
| 96 ** | |
| 97 ** | |
| 98 ** Second Protocol: | |
| 99 ** Server: | |
| 100 ** | |
| 101 ** fm = PR_OpenAnonFileMap(dirName, size, FilemapProt); | |
| 102 ** fmstring = PR_ExportFileMapAsString( fm ); | |
| 103 ** addr = PR_MemMap(fm); | |
| 104 ** ... application specific technique to pass fmstring to child | |
| 105 ** ... yadda ... Server uses his own magic to create child | |
| 106 ** PR_MemUnmap( addr ); | |
| 107 ** PR_CloseFileMap(fm); | |
| 108 ** | |
| 109 ** | |
| 110 ** Client: | |
| 111 ** ... started by server via his own magic | |
| 112 ** ... application specific technique to find fmstring from parent | |
| 113 ** fm = PR_ImportFileMapFromString( fmstring ) | |
| 114 ** addr = PR_MemMap(fm); | |
| 115 ** ... yadda ... | |
| 116 ** PR_MemUnmap(addr); | |
| 117 ** PR_CloseFileMap(fm); | |
| 118 ** | |
| 119 ** | |
| 120 ** lth. 2-Jul-1999. | |
| 121 ** | |
| 122 ** Note: The second protocol was requested by NelsonB (7/1999); this is | |
| 123 ** to accomodate servers which already create their own child processes | |
| 124 ** using platform native methods. | |

| 147 ** file. A filename is generated for the name. | |

| 149 ** On Windows platforms, dirName is ignored. | |
