Map at_cascade Shared Memory Names

Prototype

# at_cascade.map_shared
import platform
import os
def map_shared(shared_name) :
   assert type(shared_name) == str
   assert type(mapped_name) == str
   return mapped_name

Purpose

The mac Darwin system has a limit on the length (in characters) of shared memory names. This routine returns a mapping of the shared memory name that is short enough to work on the current system.
