Reference: IVEShmHold

Overview

An IVEShmHold is identical to an IVEShmMutex except that it is guaranteed that, if a process dies while it has a IVEShmHold acquired, the IVEShmHold will be released.

Include ive_standards.h and ive_shm.h to declare IVEShmHold. Beware that inclusion of ive_standards.h sets feature-set macros. It is safest to include it before any other header.

Cross references

IVEShmInitHold, IVEShmDestroyHold, IVEShmAcquireHold, IVEShmTryAcquireHold, IVEShmReleaseHold, and IVEShmMutex
