NAME
smlistsh - shared-memory linked list test shell
SYNOPSIS
smlistsh partition_size
DESCRIPTION
smlistsh attaches to a region of system memory (allocating it if necessary, and placing it under PSM management as necessary) and offers the user an interactive "shell" for testing various shared-memory linked list management functions.
smlistsh prints a prompt string (": ") to stdout, accepts a command from stdin, executes the command (possibly printing a diagnostic message), then prints another prompt string and so on.
The following commands are supported:
-
h
The help command. Causes smlistsh to print a summary of available commands. Same effect as the ? command.
-
?
Another help command. Causes smlistsh to print a summary of available commands. Same effect as the h command.
-
k
The key command. Computes and prints an unused shared-memory key, for possible use in attaching to a shared-memory region.
-
+ key_value size
The attach command. Attaches smlistsh to a region of shared memory. key_value identifies an existing shared-memory region, in the event that you want to attach to an existing shared-memory region (possibly created by another smlistsh process running on the same computer). To create and attach to a new shared-memory region that other processes can attach to, use a key_value as returned by the key command and supply the size of the new region. If you want to create and attach to a new shared-memory region that is for strictly private use, use -1 as key and supply the size of the new region.
-
-
The detach command. Detaches smlistsh from the region of shared memory it is currently using, but does not free any memory.
-
n
The new command. Creates a new shared-memory list to operate on, within the currently attached shared-memory region. Prints the address of the list.
-
s list_address
The share command. Selects an existing shared-memory list to operate on, within the currently attached shared-memory region.
-
a element_value
The append command. Appends a new list element, containing element_value, to the list on which smlistsh is currently operating.
-
p element_value
The prepend command. Prepends a new list element, containing element_value, to the list on which smlistsh is currently operating.
-
w
The walk command. Prints the addresses and contents of all elements of the list on which smlistsh is currently operating.
-
f element_value
The find command. Finds the list element that contains element_value, within the list on which smlistsh is currently operating, and prints the address of that list element.
-
d element_address
The delete command. Deletes the list element located at element_address.
-
r
The report command. Prints a partition usage report, as per psm_report(3).
-
q
The quit command. Detaches smlistsh from the region of shared memory it is currently using (without freeing any memory) and terminates smlistsh.
EXIT STATUS
-
"0"
smlistsh has terminated.
