We have an application here that is using shcom_connect to share data
between a couple of processes. The question I have is how does this
routine work and what restrictions restrictions are placed on it because
of it's implementation. What I have found so far is:
o There seems to be so size limitation to the amount of data that
can be shared as one block.
o All data seems to be MMAP'd to a disk file
o All data in the library is shared (see the man page if you are
curious.
And a final question, are there any packages out on the net that are
available to do a similar job.
