ipc-functions: Utilities for working with IPC objects

In mtmorgan/IPCMutex: A mutex implementation using the Boost.Interprocess library

Description

Use ipcid() to generate a unique mutex or counter identifier. A mutex or counter with the same id, including those in different processes, share the same state.

ipcremove() removes external state associated with mutex or counters created with id.

Usage

ipcid(id)

ipcremove(id)

Arguments

id	character(1) (optional for ipcid()) identifier string for mutex or counter.

Value

ipcid() returns a character(1) unique identifier, with id (if not missing) prepended.

ipcremove() returns (invisibly) TRUE if external resources were release or FALSE if not (e.g., because the resources has already been released).

Examples

ipcid()
id <- ipcid("example-identifier")
id

ipcremove(id)
