It offers the following +advantages: + - Normally better latency and throughput + - Full access to the buffer at any time + - Connecting processes need not to be children of each other + - Arbitrary buffer lengths + - Memory mapped + - "Backlog" + +The implementation is based on SysV shared memory, semaphores and message +queues. It makes use of POSIX pthreads. + +WWW: http://libshbuf.sourceforge.net/ |
