Name

shmemsize -- Return the size of the spectrum shared memory region.

Synopsis

shmemsize

DESCRIPTION

Bulk spectrum data are stored in a SYS-V shared memory region. This command returns the size of that shared memory region in megabytes (a megabyte is 1024*1024 bytes).

The use case for this command is to allow the REST plugin to tell a local client how to map the bulk spectrum shared memory so that it can get higher data transfer than REST request/response would allow.
