<h3>Summary</h3>
<p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_slotmem_plain.html">mod_slotmem_plain</a></code> is a memory provider which
provides for creation and access to a plain memory segment
in which the datasets are organized in "slots."
</p>
<p>If the memory needs to be shared between threads and
processes, a better provider would be
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_slotmem_shm.html">mod_slotmem_shm</a></code>.
</p>
<p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_slotmem_plain.html">mod_slotmem_plain</a></code> provides the following API functions:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-c">/* call the callback on all worker slots */
apr_status_t doall(ap_slotmem_instance_t *s, ap_slotmem_callback_fn_t *func, void *data, apr_pool_t *pool)
/* create a new slotmem with each item size is item_size */
apr_status_t create(ap_slotmem_instance_t **new, const char *name, apr_size_t item_size, unsigned int item_num, ap_slotmem_type_t type, apr_pool_t *pool)
/* attach to an existing slotmem */
apr_status_t attach(ap_slotmem_instance_t **new, const char *name, apr_size_t *item_size, unsigned int *item_num, apr_pool_t *pool)
/* get the direct pointer to the memory associated with this worker slot */
apr_status_t dptr(ap_slotmem_instance_t *s, unsigned int item_id, void **mem)
/* get/read the memory from this slot to dest */
apr_status_t get(ap_slotmem_instance_t *s, unsigned int item_id, unsigned char *dest, apr_size_t dest_len)
/* put/write the data from src to this slot */
apr_status_t put(ap_slotmem_instance_t *slot, unsigned int item_id, unsigned char *src, apr_size_t src_len)
/* return the total number of slots in the segment */

/* grab or allocate the first free slot and mark as in-use (does not do any data copying) */
apr_status_t grab(ap_slotmem_instance_t *s, unsigned int *item_id)
/* forced grab or allocate the specified slot and mark as in-use (does not do any data copying) */
apr_status_t fgrab(ap_slotmem_instance_t *s, unsigned int item_id)
/* release or free a slot and mark as not in-use (does not do any data copying) */
apr_status_t release(ap_slotmem_instance_t *s, unsigned int item_id)</pre>
