Passing numbers from RT thread to Linux thread

[Olivier Forget <oforget@ntps.edu>]

Hi,

I am writing a data acquisition and display program, so I need to "send" 
several floats from the RTLinux thread (where the data is acquired) to the 
linux/Qt program for display. There will probably be up to 16 floats being 
sent at a rate of probably 200Hz, possibly up to 1000Hz.

rtf-put only accepts characters, so it desn't seem to be ideal.

mbuff looks interesting but I have found the doc to be sparse.

I am sure that many of you have had to do this, so I would like to hear your 
opinions. Code snippets would be appreciated to help me along.

Thank-you!
