LockedBox
A crate providing an mlock
-locked Box<T>
, preventing the contents of its
memory from being paged to disk.
This crate prevents potential accidental unlocking of memory by ensuring the
memory allocated by LockedBox<T>
is always a multiple of the operating
system’s page size. Because mlock
/munlock
operate on pages of memory, this
guarantees that each LockedBox<T>
is guaranteed to have its own lock status.
LockedBox<T>
is a thin, safe abstraction built atop
memsec
.
