      - Creating a memory object handle and allocating its memory (alloc.h)
        The functions defined in alloc.h enable you to create a new memory object handle and allocate required memory on the system.
      - Wrapping existing memory (wrap.h)
        The functions defined in wrap.h enable you to create a new memory object handle that wraps existing memory.
      - Using Memory object handles (handles.h)
        The functions defined in handles.h are helper functions that enable you to get object information (e.g., size, file descriptor, etc.) and close the memory object handle.
      - Physical memory management (physmem.h)
        The functions defined in physmem.h enable the client to lock or unlock the physical memory associated with the memory object and obtain the underlying physical memory layout.
      - Virtual memory management (virtmem.h)
        The functions defined in virtmem.h allow the client to map or unmap the memory object into a process's virtual memory.
      - Creating additional handles (share.h)
        The functions defined in share.h enable you to create additional memory object handles.
