Intent to package: MM
If nobody else wants to claim it, I'd like to package MM, a library
abstracting away the details of shared memory. From the README:
MM - Shared Memory Library
Copyright (c) 1999 Ralf S. Engelschall, All rights reserved.
Version 1.0.1 (18-Apr-1999)
The MM library is a 2-layer abstraction library which simplifies the usage
of shared memory between forked (and this way strongly related) processes
under Unix platforms. On the first layer it hides all platform dependent
implementation details (allocation and locking) when dealing with shared
memory segments and on the second layer it provides a high-level
malloc(3)-style API for a convenient and well known way to work with
data-structures inside those shared memory segments.
The license is a simplified version of that for Apache.
