.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
Based on the values of
|
||
|
|
.Fa key
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Fa flag ,
|
||
|
|
.Fn semget
|
||
|
|
returns the identifier of a newly created or previously existing
|
||
|
|
set of semaphores.
|
||
|
|
.\"
|
||
|
|
.\" This is copied verbatim from the shmget manpage. Perhaps
|
||
|
|
.\" it should go in a common manpage, such as .Xr ipc 2
|
||
|
|
.\"
|
||
|
|
The key
|
||
|
|
is analogous to a filename: it provides a handle that names an
|
||
|
|
IPC object. There are three ways to specify a key:
|
||
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
||
|
|
.It
|
||
|
|
IPC_PRIVATE may be specified, in which case a new IPC object
|
||
|
|
will be created.
|
||
|
|
.It
|
||
|
|
An integer constant may be specified. If no IPC object corresponding
|
||
|
|
to
|
||
|
|
.Fa key
|
||
|
|
is specified and the IPC_CREAT bit is set in
|
||
|
|
.Fa flag ,
|
||
|
|
a new one will be created.
|
||
|
|
.It
|
||
|
|
.Fn ftok
|
||
|
|
may be used to generate a key from a pathname. See
|
||
|
|
.Xr ftok 3 .
|
||
|
|
.El
|
||
|
|
.\"
|
||
|
|
.\" Likewise for this section, except SHM_* becomes SEM_*.
|
||
|
|
.\"
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The mode of a newly created IPC object is determined by
|
||
|
|
.Em OR Ns 'ing
|
||
|
|
the following constants into the
|
||
|
|
.Fa flag
|
||
|
|
parameter:
|
||
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XSEM_WXX6XXX
|
||
|
|
.It Dv SEM_R
|
||
|
|
Read access for user.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv SEM_W
|
||
|
|
Write access for user.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv (SEM_R>>3)
|
||
|
|
Read access for group.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv (SEM_W>>3)
|
||
|
|
Write access for group.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv (SEM_R>>6)
|
||
|
|
Read access for other.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv (SEM_W>>6)
|
||
|
|
Write access for other.
|
||
|
|
.El
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
If a new set of semaphores is being created,
|
||
|
|
.Fa nsems
|
||
|
|
is used to indicate the number of semaphores the set should contain.
|
||
|
|
Otherwise,
|
||
|
|
.Fa nsems
|
||
|
|
may be specified as 0.
|
||
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
.Fn Semget
|
||
|
|
returns the id of a semaphore set if successful; otherwise, -1
|
||
|
|
is returned and
|
||
|
|
.Va errno
|
||
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
||
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
||
|
|
.Fn Semget
|
||
|
|
will fail if:

Insufficiently many semaphores are available.
