From 346ec21c4c9007e98c84b67e4f5e4b9a67bbbce7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: emersion Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2018 18:38:23 +0200 Subject: util: use shm_open for in-memory files shm_open is a POSIX function creating an in-memory file. Using it simplifies the code and removes the dependency on XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. The only downside is that we need to generate a random name for the shm file. --- include/util/shm.h | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) create mode 100644 include/util/shm.h (limited to 'include/util/shm.h') diff --git a/include/util/shm.h b/include/util/shm.h new file mode 100644 index 00000000..fb67b711 --- /dev/null +++ b/include/util/shm.h @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +#ifndef UTIL_SHM_H +#define UTIL_SHM_H + +int create_shm_file(void); +int allocate_shm_file(size_t size); + +#endif -- cgit v1.2.3
