       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       posix_typed_mem_open — open a typed memory object (ADVANCED REALTIME)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <sys/mman.h>
       int posix_typed_mem_open(const char *name, int oflag, int tflag);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The posix_typed_mem_open() function shall establish a connection
       between the typed memory object specified by the string pointed to by
       name and a file descriptor. It shall create an open file description
       that refers to the typed memory object and a file descriptor that
       refers to that open file description. The file descriptor is used by
       other functions to refer to that typed memory object. It is
       unspecified whether the name appears in the file system and is
       visible to other functions that take pathnames as arguments. The name
       argument conforms to the construction rules for a pathname, except
       that the interpretation of <slash> characters other than the leading
       <slash> character in name is implementation-defined, and that the
       length limits for the name argument are implementation-defined and
       need not be the same as the pathname limits {PATH_MAX} and
       {NAME_MAX}.  If name begins with the <slash> character, then
       processes calling posix_typed_mem_open() with the same value of name
       shall refer to the same typed memory object. If name does not begin
       with the <slash> character, the effect is implementation-defined.
       Each typed memory object supported in a system shall be identified by
       a name which specifies not only its associated typed memory pool, but
       also the path or port by which it is accessed. That is, the same
       typed memory pool accessed via several different ports shall have
       several different corresponding names. The binding between names and
       typed memory objects is established in an implementation-defined
       manner. Unlike shared memory objects, there is no way within
       POSIX.1‐2008 for a program to create a typed memory object.
       The value of tflag shall determine how the typed memory object
       behaves when subsequently mapped by calls to mmap().  At most, one of
       the following flags defined in <sys/mman.h> may be specified:
       POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE
             Allocate on mmap().
       POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE_CONTIG
             Allocate contiguously on mmap().
       POSIX_TYPED_MEM_MAP_ALLOCATABLE
             Map on mmap(), without affecting allocatability.
       If tflag has the flag POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE specified, any
       subsequent call to mmap() using the returned file descriptor shall
       result in allocation and mapping of typed memory from the specified
       typed memory pool. The allocated memory may be a contiguous
       previously unallocated area of the typed memory pool or several non-
       contiguous previously unallocated areas (mapped to a contiguous
       portion of the process address space). If tflag has the flag
       POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE_CONTIG specified, any subsequent call to
       mmap() using the returned file descriptor shall result in allocation
       and mapping of a single contiguous previously unallocated area of the
       typed memory pool (also mapped to a contiguous portion of the process
       address space). If tflag has none of the flags
       POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE or POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE_CONTIG
       specified, any subsequent call to mmap() using the returned file
       descriptor shall map an application-chosen area from the specified
       typed memory pool such that this mapped area becomes unavailable for
       allocation until unmapped by all processes. If tflag has the flag
       POSIX_TYPED_MEM_MAP_ALLOCATABLE specified, any subsequent call to
       mmap() using the returned file descriptor shall map an application-
       chosen area from the specified typed memory pool without an effect on
       the availability of that area for allocation; that is, mapping such
       an object leaves each byte of the mapped area unallocated if it was
       unallocated prior to the mapping or allocated if it was allocated
       prior to the mapping. Appropriate privileges to specify the
       POSIX_TYPED_MEM_MAP_ALLOCATABLE flag are implementation-defined.
       If successful, posix_typed_mem_open() shall return a file descriptor
       for the typed memory object that is the lowest numbered file
       descriptor not currently open for that process.  The open file
       description is new, and therefore the file descriptor shall not share
       it with any other processes. It is unspecified whether the file
       offset is set. The FD_CLOEXEC file descriptor flag associated with
       the new file descriptor shall be cleared.
       The behavior of msync(), ftruncate(), and all file operations other
       than mmap(), posix_mem_offset(), posix_typed_mem_get_info(), fstat(),
       dup(), dup2(), and close(), is unspecified when passed a file
       descriptor connected to a typed memory object by this function.
       The file status flags of the open file description shall be set
       according to the value of oflag.  Applications shall specify exactly
       one of the three access mode values described below and defined in
       the <fcntl.h> header, as the value of oflag.
       O_RDONLY    Open for read access only.
       O_WRONLY    Open for write access only.
       O_RDWR      Open for read or write access.

RETURN VALUE         top

       Upon successful completion, the posix_typed_mem_open() function shall
       return a non-negative integer representing the lowest numbered unused
       file descriptor. Otherwise, it shall return −1 and set errno to
       indicate the error.

ERRORS         top

       The posix_typed_mem_open() function shall fail if:
       EACCES The typed memory object exists and the permissions specified
              by oflag are denied.
       EINTR  The posix_typed_mem_open() operation was interrupted by a
              signal.
       EINVAL The flags specified in tflag are invalid (more than one of
              POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE, POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE_CONTIG, or
              POSIX_TYPED_MEM_MAP_ALLOCATABLE is specified).
       EMFILE All file descriptors available to the  process  are  currently
              open.
       ENFILE Too many file descriptors are currently open in the system.
       ENOENT The named typed memory object does not exist.
       EPERM  The   caller  lacks  appropriate  privileges  to  specify  the
              POSIX_TYPED_MEM_MAP_ALLOCATABLE flag in the tflag argument.
       The posix_typed_mem_open() function may fail if:
       ENAMETOOLONG
              The length of the name argument exceeds  {_POSIX_PATH_MAX}  on
              systems  that  do  not  support  the  XSI  option  or  exceeds
              {_XOPEN_PATH_MAX} on XSI systems, or has a pathname  component
              that  is  longer than {_POSIX_NAME_MAX} on systems that do not
              support the XSI option or longer than {_XOPEN_NAME_MAX} on XSI
              systems.
