NAME
    Data::Buffer::Shared - Type-specialized shared-memory buffers for
    multiprocess access

SYNOPSIS
        use Data::Buffer::Shared::I64;

        # Create or open a shared buffer (file-backed mmap)
        my $buf = Data::Buffer::Shared::I64->new('/tmp/mybuf.shm', 1024);

        # Keyword API (fastest)
        buf_i64_set $buf, 0, 42;
        my $val = buf_i64_get $buf, 0;

        # Method API
        $buf->set(0, 42);
        my $v = $buf->get(0);

        # Lock-free atomic operations (integer types)
        buf_i64_incr $buf, 0;
        buf_i64_add $buf, 0, 10;
        buf_i64_cas $buf, 0, 52, 100;

        # Multiprocess
        if (fork() == 0) {
            my $child = Data::Buffer::Shared::I64->new('/tmp/mybuf.shm', 1024);
            buf_i64_incr $child, 0;   # atomic, visible to parent
            exit;
        }
        wait;

DESCRIPTION
    Data::Buffer::Shared provides type-specialized fixed-capacity buffers
    stored in file-backed shared memory (mmap(MAP_SHARED)), enabling
    efficient multiprocess data sharing on Linux.

    Linux-only. Requires 64-bit Perl.

  Features
    *   File-backed mmap for cross-process sharing

    *   Lock-free atomic get/set for numeric types (single-element)

    *   Lock-free atomic counters: incr/decr/add/cas (integer types)

    *   Seqlock-guarded bulk operations (slice, fill)

    *   Futex-based read-write lock with stale lock recovery

    *   Keyword API via XS::Parse::Keyword

    *   Presized: fixed capacity, no growing

  Variants
    Data::Buffer::Shared::I8 - int8
    Data::Buffer::Shared::U8 - uint8
    Data::Buffer::Shared::I16 - int16
    Data::Buffer::Shared::U16 - uint16
    Data::Buffer::Shared::I32 - int32
    Data::Buffer::Shared::U32 - uint32
    Data::Buffer::Shared::I64 - int64
    Data::Buffer::Shared::U64 - uint64
    Data::Buffer::Shared::F32 - float
    Data::Buffer::Shared::F64 - double
    Data::Buffer::Shared::Str - fixed-length string

  API
    Replace "xx" with variant prefix: "i8", "u8", "i16", "u16", "i32",
    "u32", "i64", "u64", "f32", "f64", "str".

        buf_xx_set $buf, $idx, $value;    # set element (lock-free atomic for numeric)
        my $v = buf_xx_get $buf, $idx;    # get element (lock-free atomic for numeric)
        my @v = buf_xx_slice $buf, $from, $count;  # bulk read (seqlock)
        buf_xx_fill $buf, $value;         # fill all elements (write-locked)

    Integer variants also have:

        my $n = buf_xx_incr $buf, $idx;          # atomic increment, returns new value
        my $n = buf_xx_decr $buf, $idx;          # atomic decrement
        my $n = buf_xx_add $buf, $idx, $delta;   # atomic add
        my $ok = buf_xx_cas $buf, $idx, $old, $new;  # compare-and-swap

    Diagnostics:

        my $c = buf_xx_capacity $buf;
        my $s = buf_xx_mmap_size $buf;
        my $e = buf_xx_elem_size $buf;

    Explicit locking (for batch operations):

        buf_xx_lock_wr $buf;    # write lock + seqlock begin
        buf_xx_unlock_wr $buf;  # seqlock end + write unlock
        buf_xx_lock_rd $buf;    # read lock
        buf_xx_unlock_rd $buf;  # read unlock
