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

  Constructors
        my $buf = Data::Buffer::Shared::I64->new($path, $capacity);         # file-backed
        my $buf = Data::Buffer::Shared::I64->new_anon($capacity);           # anonymous
        my $buf = Data::Buffer::Shared::I64->new_memfd($name, $capacity);   # memfd
        my $buf = Data::Buffer::Shared::I64->new_from_fd($fd);              # reopen memfd

    The "Str" variant takes an additional $max_len argument giving the
    per-element fixed byte width:

        my $buf = Data::Buffer::Shared::Str->new($path, $capacity, $max_len);
        my $buf = Data::Buffer::Shared::Str->new_anon($capacity, $max_len);
        my $buf = Data::Buffer::Shared::Str->new_memfd($name, $capacity, $max_len);
        my $buf = Data::Buffer::Shared::Str->new_from_fd($fd, $max_len);

    "new_from_fd" duplicates the caller's fd internally; the caller keeps
    ownership of the passed fd. The "Str" variant requires the same $max_len
    the original was created with — there is no header field storing it.

  Lifecycle
        my $p  = $buf->path;    # backing file path, or undef for anon/memfd
        my $fd = $buf->fd;      # memfd fd, or undef for anon/file-backed
        my $fd = $buf->memfd;   # alias of fd() for sibling-module parity
        $buf->sync;             # msync(MS_SYNC) mmap to backing store
        $buf->unlink;           # remove backing file
        my $h = $buf->stats;    # diagnostic hashref

  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
        my $p = buf_xx_cmpxchg $buf, $idx, $old, $new;       # CAS, returns prior value
        my $n = buf_xx_atomic_and $buf, $idx, $mask;         # atomic AND (integer variants)
        my $n = buf_xx_atomic_or  $buf, $idx, $mask;         # atomic OR
        my $n = buf_xx_atomic_xor $buf, $idx, $mask;         # atomic XOR

    Raw / bulk:

        my $raw = buf_xx_get_raw $buf, $from, $count;        # bulk bytes, seqlock-guarded
        buf_xx_set_raw $buf, $from, $raw;                    # bulk bytes, write-locked
        $buf->add_slice($from, \@deltas);                    # batch atomic add (integer variants)
        my $ptr = buf_xx_ptr $buf;           # raw pointer to data, for FFI use
        my $ptr = buf_xx_ptr_at $buf, $idx;  # pointer to element at index

    Zero-copy (numeric variants):

        my $sv = $buf->as_scalar;   # mmap-aliased read-only scalar ref

    Diagnostics:

        my $c = buf_xx_capacity $buf;
        my $s = buf_xx_mmap_size $buf;
        my $e = buf_xx_elem_size $buf;
        my $h = $buf->stats;    # hashref: capacity/elem_size/mmap_size/variant_id/recoveries

    Persistence:

        $buf->sync;             # msync(MS_SYNC) mmap to backing store

    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
