# shm-primitives
Lock-free shared-memory data structures and peer coordination primitives.
## Role in the Vox stack
`shm-primitives` is foundational infrastructure below the `Link` layer for SHM transports.
## What this crate provides
- Ring/buffer and slot-management primitives for shared-memory IPC
- Segment and peer-state building blocks used by higher-level SHM transport code
## Fits with
- `vox-shm` transport implementation
- `vox-shm-ffi` for foreign-runtime interoperability
- `shm-primitives-async` for async OS control paths
