On the first (lower) layer it hides all platform +dependent implementation details (allocation and locking) when dealing with +shared memory segments and on the second (higher) layer it provides a +high-level malloc(3)-style API for a convenient and well known way to work +with data-structures inside those shared memory segments. |
