Dear Users,
I tried out shared memory using libvirt. When I configure it in the XML (ivshmem-plain), I
have to provide a name for it and after starting the VM I can see the appropriate file on
the host in the /dev/shm/ directory. My problem is that I could not find any official
documentation about the usage of that shared memory. On the guest side, I have found the
PCI device related to it, but I do not know how to use it. Is there any available command
line tool to read from or write to this memory or is it only possible with a user
application? Could you provide my what is the most common solution for this?
Thank you in advance for your reply and help!
Best regards,
Márton Sánta
