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. mm 1.4.2 26.fc34 x86_64 21 k mm-1.4.2-26.fc34.src.rpm fedora Shared memory allocation library http BSD with advertising OSSP mm is a 2-layer abstraction library which simplifies the usage of shared memory between forked (and this way strongly related) processes under Unix platforms.
