I want to write something in a special area that I created in RAM without using any disk path in a program, then i want to open it from the other program to read and change it.

MemoryMappedFile.CreateNew("Test", lenght) --> This function allows me to create a special area in RAM and as far as I know both windows and ubuntu support this function.

MemoryMappedFile.OpenExisting("Test")--> (or CreateOrOpen) This function allows me to read the information in the special field in RAM and then change the information in it if I want. Unfortunately this functions used in only Windows.

How can i solve my problem? What are the alternatives of OpenExisting for Linux-Ubuntu? If there is no solution for this situation , can you recommend different library?

What I have tried:

I could not find a solution for this topic.

Programs don't share memory; you need pipes or something.

Sorry , i mean two different codes in two different projects. It is working in Windows because I can use OpenExisting or CreateOrOpen to open the RAM space I already specified ("Test"). These functions are only available for Windows but i have to do same thing in Ubuntu. I want help for this issue.

You write an interface to use a different technique on Ubuntu; or adopt a technique that works on both. (2 different "projects" means little. If they're both exe's, it's still 2 "programs", and they don't share memory; unless one is used as a dll; then is a matter of passing references)
