orbit-rs 0.1.0

Fleet-aware shared-memory rings over POSIX shared memory.
Documentation
//! POSIX shared-memory helpers — V1 substrate for cross-process rings.
//!
//! Wraps `shm_open` / `ftruncate` / `mmap` / `munmap` / `shm_unlink`
//! into a small, RAII-friendly API. Unix-only; Windows support is
//! a separate concern (Win32 named file mapping) that can land later.
//!
//! ## Naming
//!
//! Segments are named `/orbit-{fleet}-{kind}-{uid}` — fleet name from
//! the embedder, KIND from `OrbitTyped::KIND`, UID from `geteuid()`.
//! UID-scoping avoids the `/dev/shm` sticky-bit cross-user collision
//! problem (a stale segment owned by one user blocks another from
//! `shm_unlink`-ing it on next boot).
//!
//! ## Lifetime
//!
//! [`ShmRegion`] owns the mapped pointer and unmaps on drop. It does
//! NOT `shm_unlink` on drop — the segment lives until an explicit
//! [`ShmRegion::unlink`] call. This matches POSIX convention: a
//! segment with mapped users is not removed; `shm_unlink` only
//! prevents *new* opens, the current mapping stays valid until the
//! last process unmaps.
