[comp.os.vms] Initializing/Writing/Reading/Deleting Shared Memory

mhg@MITRE-BEDFORD.ARPA (Mark H. Granoff) (09/10/87)

Greetings Netlandians:

     I am writing an application that, among other things, maintains a
     table data structure.  The information in that table reflects the
     current state of the system (i.e. user names, process names,
     other process info, etc).

     Question: How do I make that secion of memory shared so another
     process can read it (to see what's there)?

     I would rather not fool with mailboxes, so this is the next best
     thing (I think).

     Any examples/suggestions/etc would be greatly appreciated.

     Thanks in advance.
