This file contains the common boiler-plate for creating a shared XImage structure, and for making sure that the shared memory segments get allocated and shut down cleanly. This code currently deals only with shared XImages, not with shared Pixmaps. It also doesn't use "completion events", but so far that doesn't seem to be a problem (and I'm not entirely clear on when they would actually be needed, anyway.) If you don't have man pages for this extension, see http://www.physik.uni-regensburg.de/~scs22156/sofie-0.2/mit-shm.html or in the R6 sources as "xc/doc/specs/Xext/mit-shm.ms", for example, ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/R6.4/xc/doc/specs/Xext/mit-shm.ms (This document seems not to ever remain available on the web in one place for very long; you can search for it by the title, "MIT-SHM -- The MIT Shared Memory Extension".) To monitor the system's shared memory segments, run "ipcs -m". */ #include "utils.h" #include "defs.h" #ifdef HAVE_XSHM_EXTENSION /* whole file */ /* #define DEBUG */ #include /* for perror() */ #include /* for XDestroyImage() */ #include "xshm.h" #ifdef DEBUG # include #endif extern char *progname; /* The documentation for the XSHM extension implies that if the server supports XSHM but is not the local machine, the XShm calls will return False; but this turns out not to be the case.
