Mpool is the library interface intended to provide page oriented buffer
management of files. The buffers may be shared between processes.
The function
mpool_open initializes a memory pool. The
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
key is NULL,
the buffers are mapped into private memory. The
fd argument is a file
descriptor for the underlying file, which must be seekable. If
key is
non-NULL and matches a file already being mapped, the
fd argument is
ignored.
The
pagesize argument is the size, in bytes, of the pages into which the
file is broken up. The
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.
The
mpool_filter function is intended to make transparent input and
output processing of the pages possible. If the
pgin function is
specified, it is called each time a buffer is read into the memory pool from
the backing file. If the
pgout function is specified, it is called each
time a buffer is written into the backing file. Both functions are are called
with the
pgcookie pointer, the page number and a pointer to the page to
being read or written.
The function
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
pgnoaddr address. Otherwise,
NULL is returned and errno is set.
The function
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.
The function
mpool_put unpins the page referenced by
pgaddr.
Pgaddr must be an address previously returned by
mpool_get or
mpool_new. The flag value is specified by
or'ing any of the
following values:
- MPOOL_DIRTY
- The page has been modified and needs to be written to the
backing file.
Mpool_put returns 0 on success and -1 if an error occurs.
The function
mpool_sync writes all modified pages associated with the
MPOOL pointer to the backing file.
Mpool_sync returns 0 on success and
-1 if an error occurs.
The
mpool_close function free's up any allocated memory associated with
the memory pool cookie. Modified pages are
not written to the backing
file.
Mpool_close returns 0 on success and -1 if an error occurs.
The
mpool_open function may fail and set
errno for any of the
errors specified for the library routine
malloc(3).
The
mpool_get function may fail and set
errno for the following:
- [EINVAL]
- The requested record doesn't exist.
The
mpool_new and
mpool_get functions may fail and set
errno for any of the errors specified for the library routines
read(2)
, write(2)
, and
malloc(3).
The
mpool_sync function may fail and set
errno for any of the
errors specified for the library routine
write(2).
The
mpool_close function may fail and set
errno for any of the
errors specified for the library routine
free(3).
