Functions

shm_reader

Creates a kekbit reader associated to a memory mapped channel.

shm_writer

Creates a file backed memory mapped kekbit channel and a writer associate with it.

storage_path

Returns the path to the file associated with a channel inside a kekbit root folder.

try_shm_reader

Tries multiple times to create a kekbit reader associated to a memory mapped channel. This function will basically call shm_reader up to tries time unless it succeeds. Between two tries the function will spin/sleep for a about duration_millis/tries milliseconds so potentially could be blocking. This should be the preferred method to create a reader when you are willing to wait until the channel is available.
