sco_ipc_v1.create

Catalogue snapshot — development preview

SDK 2.3.0 · game pack 0.6.0 · source e616ed69d8f9f77b0f4827881c86d91e4a7d1689 Published release: sdk-v2.3.0 (immutable approved assets; this development preview is not an approved release). Source-backed inventory is not a runtime or in-game verification claim.

Creates (or, if the peer still holds it, re-opens) Local\SCO_<plugin id>.<name> with bytes bytes and lays out the sc_ipc_hdr with the bridge’s layout_id / layout_version and a new epoch (rings must be laid out again). SCO_BAD_ARG: a bad name or size, or a channel of that name already open. SCO_TOO_MANY: the channel or byte quota is full. SCO_FAILED: the OS refused, or an existing mapping of that name is smaller or another user’s. New Windows mappings receive a current-user-only DACL; reuse checks ownership and size, not the existing DACL, so access by other accounts is not excluded on reuse.

Limitations / unestablished guarantees

• Recursive reentrancy unspecified.
• Additional failures/output state unspecified unless described in the buffer contract.

Parameters and buffers

sco_result (*create)(sco_plugin* self, const char* name, uint64_t bytes, uint32_t layout_id, uint32_t layout_version, uint64_t* out_channel);
Creates (or, if the peer still holds it, re-opens) Local\SCO_<plugin id>.<name> with bytes bytes and lays out the sc_ipc_hdr with the bridge’s layout_id / layout_version and a new epoch (rings must be laid out again). SCO_BAD_ARG: a bad name or size, or a channel of that name already open. SCO_TOO_MANY: the channel or byte quota is full. SCO_FAILED: the OS refused, or an existing mapping of that name is smaller or another user’s. New Windows mappings receive a current-user-only DACL; reuse checks ownership and size, not the existing DACL, so access by other accounts is not excluded on reuse.

Results and failures

Absent table: query_service NOT_FOUND; stopped: UNAVAILABLE; invalid/released self: BAD_ARG; unknown/non-owned channel: NOT_FOUND; allocation exceptions: TOO_MANY. Additional failures/output state unspecified unless described in the buffer contract.

Absent capability

Absent table: query_service NOT_FOUND

Ownership

Host owns mapping/channel; data copied via host staging buffers. No allocation transfer except borrowed view, never free it.

Thread affinity

Any thread; per-channel lock during copy. Recursive reentrancy unspecified.

Callback context

unspecified

Reentrancy

unspecified

Cleanup and cancellation

No in-flight cancellation; close/ordinary unload/non-retained crash cleanup marks closed and unmaps channels. Retained-provider faults skip owner resource-release hooks and require restart; backing resources remain retained, not safe for cached calls.

Language mappings

Status labels are copied verbatim from the catalogue: direct is native access; typed-wrapper is wrapper-backed; restricted is a subset/adaptation; unsupported means no supported route is established. No status implies universal safety.

Language	Catalogue status	Source evidence / wrapper tokens
c	direct	include/sco_ipc.h (*create)
cpp	typed-wrapper	include/scosdk/ipc.hpp c.r_ = t_->create(self_, name, bytes, layoutId, layoutVersion, &id);
csharp	unsupported	docs/sdk-csharp.md There are no C# wrappers for sco.ipc and sco.net yet
lua	unsupported	docs/ipc.md Lua plugins get no sco.ipc

Examples

None identified in the catalogue; this is not proof none can exist.

Tests

• tests/abi_ipc.c
• tests/test_ipc.cpp
• tools/test.sh

ABI pins prove layout, not semantic behavior or a live game session.
