.SH NAME
posix_typed_mem_open
\(em open a typed memory object
(\fBADVANCED REALTIME\fP)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <sys/mman.h>
.P
int posix_typed_mem_open(const char *\fIname\fP, int \fIoflag\fP, int \fItflag\fP);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
\fIposix_typed_mem_open\fR()
function shall establish a connection between the typed memory object
specified by the string pointed to by
.IR 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
.IR name
argument conforms to the construction rules for a pathname, except that
the interpretation of
<slash>
characters other than the leading
<slash>
character in
.IR name
is implementation-defined, and that the length limits for the
.IR name
argument are implementation-defined and need not be the same as the
pathname limits
{PATH_MAX}
and
{NAME_MAX}.
If
.IR name
begins with the
<slash>
character, then processes calling
\fIposix_typed_mem_open\fR()
with the same value of
.IR name
shall refer to the same typed memory object. If
.IR name
does not begin with the
<slash>
character, the effect is implementation-defined.
.P
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\(hy2008 for a program to create a
typed memory object.
.P
The value of
.IR tflag
shall determine how the typed memory object behaves when subsequently
mapped by calls to
\fImmap\fR().
At most, one of the following flags defined in
.IR <sys/mman.h> 
may be specified:
.IP POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE 6
.br
Allocate on
\fImmap\fR().
.IP POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE_CONTIG 6
.br
Allocate contiguously on
\fImmap\fR().
.IP POSIX_TYPED_MEM_MAP_ALLOCATABLE 6
.br
Map on
\fImmap\fR(),
without affecting allocatability.
.P
If
.IR tflag
has the flag POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE specified, any subsequent call to
\fImmap\fR()
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
.IR tflag
has the flag POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE_CONTIG specified, any subsequent
call to
\fImmap\fR()
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
.IR tflag
has none of the flags POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE or
POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE_CONTIG specified, any subsequent call to
\fImmap\fR()
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
.IR tflag
has the flag POSIX_TYPED_MEM_MAP_ALLOCATABLE specified, any subsequent
call to
\fImmap\fR()
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.
.P
If successful,
\fIposix_typed_mem_open\fR()
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.
.P
The behavior of
\fImsync\fR(),
\fIftruncate\fR(),
and all file operations other than
\fImmap\fR(),
\fIposix_mem_offset\fR(),
\fIposix_typed_mem_get_info\fR(),
\fIfstat\fR(),
\fIdup\fR(),
\fIdup2\fR(),
and
\fIclose\fR(),
is unspecified when passed a file descriptor connected to a typed
memory object by this function.
.P
The file status flags of the open file description shall be set
according to the value of
.IR oflag .
Applications shall specify exactly one of the three access mode values
described below and defined in the
.IR <fcntl.h> 
header, as the value of
.IR oflag .
.IP O_RDONLY 12
Open for read access only.
.IP O_WRONLY 12
Open for write access only.
.IP O_RDWR 12
Open for read or write access.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
Upon successful completion, the
\fIposix_typed_mem_open\fR()
function shall return a non-negative integer representing the lowest
numbered unused file descriptor. Otherwise, it shall return \(mi1 and
set
.IR errno
to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
The
\fIposix_typed_mem_open\fR()
function shall fail if:
.TP
.BR EACCES
The typed memory object exists and the permissions specified by
.IR oflag
are denied.
.TP
.BR EINTR
The
\fIposix_typed_mem_open\fR()
operation was interrupted by a signal.
.TP
.BR EINVAL
.ad l
The flags specified in
.IR tflag
are invalid (more than one of POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE,
POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE_CONTIG, or POSIX_TYPED_MEM_MAP_ALLOCATABLE is
specified).
.ad b
.TP
.BR EMFILE
All file descriptors available to the process are currently open.
.TP
.BR ENFILE
Too many file descriptors are currently open in the system.
.TP
.BR ENOENT
The named typed memory object does not exist.
.TP
.BR EPERM
The caller lacks appropriate privileges to specify the
POSIX_TYPED_MEM_MAP_ALLOCATABLE flag in the
.IR tflag
argument.
.P
The
\fIposix_typed_mem_open\fR()
function may fail if:
.TP
.BR ENAMETOOLONG
.br
The length of the
.IR 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.
