70 is the library interface intended to provide page oriented buffer management
72 The buffers may be shared between processes.
76 initializes a memory pool.
79 argument is the byte string used to negotiate between multiple
80 processes wishing to share buffers.
81 If the file buffers are mapped in shared memory, all processes using
82 the same key will share the buffers.
85 is NULL, the buffers are mapped into private memory.
88 argument is a file descriptor for the underlying file, which must be seekable.
91 is non-NULL and matches a file already being mapped, the
97 argument is the size, in bytes, of the pages into which the file is broken up.
100 argument is the maximum number of pages from the underlying file to cache
102 This value is not relative to the number of processes which share a file's
103 buffers, but will be the largest value specified by any of the processes
108 function is intended to make transparent input and output processing of the
112 function is specified, it is called each time a buffer is read into the memory
113 pool from the backing file.
116 function is specified, it is called each time a buffer is written into the
118 Both functions are are called with the
120 pointer, the page number and a pointer to the page to being read or written.
124 takes an MPOOL pointer and an address as arguments.
125 If a new page can be allocated, a pointer to the page is returned and
126 the page number is stored into the
129 Otherwise, NULL is returned and errno is set.
133 takes a MPOOL pointer and a page number as arguments.
134 If the page exists, a pointer to the page is returned.
135 Otherwise, NULL is returned and errno is set.
136 The flags parameter is not currently used.
140 unpins the page referenced by
143 must be an address previously returned by
147 The flag value is specified by
149 any of the following values:
152 The page has been modified and needs to be written to the backing file.
155 returns 0 on success and -1 if an error occurs.
159 writes all modified pages associated with the MPOOL pointer to the
162 returns 0 on success and -1 if an error occurs.
166 function free's up any allocated memory associated with the memory pool
170 written to the backing file.
172 returns 0 on success and -1 if an error occurs.
176 function may fail and set
178 for any of the errors specified for the library routine
183 function may fail and set
188 The requested record doesn't exist.
194 functions may fail and set
196 for any of the errors specified for the library routines
204 function may fail and set
206 for any of the errors specified for the library routine
211 function may fail and set
213 for any of the errors specified for the library routine
