Dear Brian, Thanks a lot for your answers and background information.
No, nothing like [a C API] exists... dlopen has to mmap() the file... You could of course create the file in a tmpfs filesystem... I don't see what's so bad about using files. unlinking an open file is the standard technique...
I agree. Using files is not that bad. In fact, with the information you gave it seems to be the way to go. Thanks a lot. Your answers will save me a lot of time searching for something which does not exist.
Cheers, Klaus
