Smile How to create shared mmap for a bitmap file in c Linux?


Hi there forgive me, im a newbie in Linux.Currently Im trying to build an embedded linux system using qemu.
Im am doing some image processing programming with a special library (.so file). This library has a function to read Image from a memory.This library function is to decode an image given from the main program.c .

below are the program flow i created:

1- main program.c get an image file and put into memory with malloc function.
2- The decoder library reads the data from the malloc and compute the result.result is pass back from the library to the main program.c .


What i hope to achieved:


1-I would like to created 3 mmap with the size for and 1.3 megapixel image.
2-By having this 3 mmap, i could store 3 different image for the library to decode later.
3- I would like to know also the specific address like DMA so that i could shared this 3 mmap with a another program.c.

The problem I'm facing :

1- i never used mmap before.How to make 3 mmap?
2-How to put the image into the mmap?
3-Mmap can have a specific address? can i use this address in another program.c ?

Thank you for reading my post, I hope that post wasn't confusing

Thank you for the quick reply . Do u know any simple example source code in C, For example a program that takes a 3 image data from a specific directory.And then create 3 mmap for each image and put it into the mmap? it wouldnt do anything else, but just give a pointer of this 3 mmap to my library for decoding I am slow, hope that u could help ,Thank you

you need to start with the example I gave you or look for another one if you do not like this one. It is not really hard.
Be familiar with mmap and you will be able to put images into that.
