There are two approaches: shmget and mmap. I’ll talk about mmap, since it’s more modern and flexible, but you can take a look at man shmget (or this tutorial) if you’d rather use the old-style tools. The mmap() function can be used to allocate memory buffers with highly customizable parameters to control access and permissions, and to back them with file-system storage if … Read more
