pmem2_source_from_anon() - creates data source backed by anonymous memory pages
Contents
Description
The pmem2_source_from_anon() function instantiates a new structpmem2_source object describing an anony‐
mous data source. Mappings created using this function are not backed by any file and are zero-initial‐
ized.
The size argument for the function defines the length in bytes of the anonymous source, as returned by
pmem2_source_size(3). The application should set this value so that it’s greater than or equal to the
size of any mapping created with the anonymous source.
The offset value for mapping is ignored.
Errors
The pmem2_source_form_anon() can fail with the following errors:
• -ENOMEM - in case of insufficient memory to allocate an instance of structpmem2_source.
