The following code can be found in generic.c:

*******************************************************

/* Get pointer to shared memory malloc arena created by pfInit()*/
    arena = pfGetSharedArena();

    /*
     * Malloc structures now, before pfConfig(), so forked processes have same
     * pointers.
    */
    ViewState = (SharedViewState *) pfCalloc(1, sizeof(SharedViewState),
arena);

*******************************************************

My question is, can I get a pointer to "ViewState" from a completely
unrelated process. I want to run a completely seperate process that can
monitor/update items in this structure.

Thanks for any help/code,

Darin
