* @{
|
|
*
|
|
* The argument buffer can be used when passing an argument from an
|
|
* exiting process to a process that has not been created yet. Since
|
|
* the exiting process will have exited when the new process is
|
|
* started, the argument cannot be passed in any of the processes'
|
|
* addres spaces. In such situations, the argument buffer can be used.
|
|
*
|
|
* The argument buffer is statically allocated in memory and is
|
|
* globally accessible to all processes.
|
|
*
|
|
* An argument buffer is allocated with the arg_alloc() function and
|
|
* deallocated with the arg_free() function. The arg_free() function
|
|
* is designed so that it can take any pointer, not just an argument
|
|
* buffer pointer. If the pointer to arg_free() is not an argument
|
|
* buffer, the function does nothing.
