.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.IR Mpool
|
||
|
|
is the library interface intended to provide page oriented buffer management
|
||
|
|
of files.
|
||
|
|
The buffers may be shared between processes.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The function
|
||
|
|
.I mpool_open
|
||
|
|
initializes a memory pool.
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.I key
|
||
|
|
argument is the byte string used to negotiate between multiple
|
||
|
|
processes wishing to share buffers.
|
||
|
|
If the file buffers are mapped in shared memory, all processes using
|
||
|
|
the same key will share the buffers.
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.I key
|
||
|
|
is NULL, the buffers are mapped into private memory.
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.I fd
|
||
|
|
argument is a file descriptor for the underlying file, which must be seekable.
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.I key
|
||
|
|
is non-NULL and matches a file already being mapped, the
|
||
|
|
.I fd
|
||
|
|
argument is ignored.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.I pagesize
|
||
|
|
argument is the size, in bytes, of the pages into which the file is broken up.
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.I maxcache
|
||
|
|
argument is the maximum number of pages from the underlying file to cache
|
||
|
|
at any one time.
|
||
|
|
This value is not relative to the number of processes which share a file's
|
||
|
|
buffers, but will be the largest value specified by any of the processes
|
||
|
|
sharing the file.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.I mpool_filter
|
||
|
|
function is intended to make transparent input and output processing of the
|
||
|
|
pages possible.
|
||
|
|
If the
|
||
|
|
.I pgin
|
||
|
|
function is specified, it is called each time a buffer is read into the memory
|
||
|
|
pool from the backing file.
|
||
|
|
If the
|
||
|
|
.I pgout
|
||
|
|
function is specified, it is called each time a buffer is written into the
|
||
|
|
backing file.
|
||
|
|
Both functions are are called with the
|
||
|
|
.I pgcookie
|
||
|
|
pointer, the page number and a pointer to the page to being read or written.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The function
|
||
|
|
.I mpool_new
|
||
|
|
takes an MPOOL pointer and an address as arguments.
|
||
|
|
If a new page can be allocated, a pointer to the page is returned and
|
||
|
|
the page number is stored into the
|
||
|
|
.I pgnoaddr
|
||
|
|
address.
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, NULL is returned and errno is set.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The function
|
||
|
|
.I mpool_get
|
||
|
|
takes a MPOOL pointer and a page number as arguments.
|
||
|
|
If the page exists, a pointer to the page is returned.
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, NULL is returned and errno is set.
|
||
|
|
The flags parameter is not currently used.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The function
|
||
|
|
.I mpool_put
|
||
|
|
unpins the page referenced by
|
||
|
|
.IR pgaddr .
|
||
|
|
.I Pgaddr
|
||
|
|
must be an address previously returned by
|
||
|
|
.I mpool_get
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
.IR mpool_new .
|
||
|
|
The flag value is specified by
|
||
|
|
.IR or 'ing
|
||
|
|
any of the following values:
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
MPOOL_DIRTY
|
||
|
|
The page has been modified and needs to be written to the backing file.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.I Mpool_put
|
||
|
|
returns 0 on success and -1 if an error occurs.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The function
|
||
|
|
.I mpool_sync
|
||
|
|
writes all modified pages associated with the MPOOL pointer to the
|
||
|
|
backing file.
|
||
|
|
.I Mpool_sync
|
||
|
|
returns 0 on success and -1 if an error occurs.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.I mpool_close
|
||
|
|
function free's up any allocated memory associated with the memory pool
|
||
|
|
cookie.
|
||
|
|
Modified pages are
|
||
|
|
.B not
|
||
|
|
written to the backing file.
|
||
|
|
.I Mpool_close
|
||
|
|
returns 0 on success and -1 if an error occurs.
|
||
|
|
