how to set session.save_handler() for shared memory?

Sorry guys, but I can't find the reference in the Manual. (Maybe it's not there yet?) In php.ini you should be able to set the method for storing session variables to use shared memory (instead of files). php.ini line 380> session.save_handler = files ; handler used to store/retrieve data What value do I set instead of "files"??? We have compiled PHP4.0.2 on Solaris 2.6 with Apache 1.3.12 and Oracle OCI8 and Hyperwave support. (Well, still some problems with the latter. ;-) We've read that shared memory is supported without having to write our own stuff (other then if using a database). We need to use it also for performance issues and to access the session data from other PHP processes. (Some run as shell script using a PHP executable.) File access has proven to be too slow and we would prefer not to use the database, as it will be going to be used sufficiently as it is. Any ideas? Or even better, a link to the right piece of documentation?
