/*
* mod_example_ipc -- Apache sample module
*
* This module illustrates the use in an Apache 2.x module of the Interprocess
* Communications routines that come with APR. It is example code, and not meant
* to be used in a production server.
*
* To play with this sample module first compile it into a DSO file and install
* it into Apache's modules directory by running:
*
* $ /path/to/apache2/bin/apxs -c -i mod_example_ipc.c
*
* Then activate it in Apache's httpd.conf file for instance for the URL
* /example_ipc in as follows:
*
* # httpd.conf
* LoadModule example_ipc_module modules/mod_example_ipc.so
* <Location /example_ipc>
* SetHandler example_ipc
* </Location>
*
* Then restart Apache via
*
* $ /path/to/apache2/bin/apachectl restart
*
* The module allocates a counter in shared memory, which is incremented by the
* request handler under a mutex. After installation, activate the handler by
* hitting the URL configured above with ab at various concurrency levels to see
* how mutex contention affects server performance.
