shared_memory_object();

shared_memory_object(open_only_t, const char * name, mode_t mode);

Creates a shared memory object with name "name" and mode "mode", with the access mode "mode" If the file previously exists, throws an error. Tries to create a shared memory object with name "name" and mode "mode", with the access mode "mode". If the file previously exists, it tries to open it with mode "mode". Otherwise throws an error. Tries to open a shared memory object with name "name", with the access mode "mode". If the file does not previously exist, it throws an error.

shared_memory_object& operator=(shared_memory_object && moved);

Moves the ownership of "moved"'s shared memory to *this. After the call, "moved" does not represent any shared memory. Does not throw

~shared_memory_object();

Destroys *this and indicates that the calling process is finished using the resource. All mapped regions are still valid after destruction. The destructor function will deallocate any system resources allocated by the system for use by this process for this resource. The resource can still be opened again calling the open constructor overload. To erase the resource from the system use remove().

 m_mode(read_only);

void swap(shared_memory_object & moved);

void truncate(offset_t length);

const char * get_name() const;

bool get_size(offset_t & size) const;

Returns true if the size of the shared memory object can be obtained and writes the size in the passed reference

mode_t get_mode() const;

mapping_handle_t get_mapping_handle() const;

static bool remove(const char * name);

Erases a shared memory object from the system. Returns false on error. Never throws

 __pad0__;

Moves the ownership of "moved"'s shared memory object to *this. After the call, "moved" does not represent any shared memory object. Does not throw
