.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In sys/ipc.h
|
|
.In sys/sem.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn semget "key_t key" "int nsems" "int flag"
|
|
.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
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr ftok 3
|
|
function
|
|
may be used to generate a key from a pathname.
|
|
.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
|
|
argument:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XSEM_WXX6XXX
|
|
.It Dv SEM_R
|
|
Read access for user.
|
|
.It Dv SEM_A
|
|
Alter access for user.
|
|
.It Dv ( SEM_R>>3 )
|
|
Read access for group.
|
|
.It Dv ( SEM_A>>3 )
|
|
Alter access for group.
|
|
.It Dv ( SEM_R>>6 )
|
|
Read access for other.
|
|
.It Dv ( SEM_A>>6 )
|
|
Alter 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
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn semget
|
|
system call
|
|
returns the id of a semaphore set if successful; otherwise, -1
|
|
is returned and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn semget
|
|
system call
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.\" ipcperm could fail (we are opening to read and write, as it were)
|
|
.It Bq Er EACCES
|
|
Access permission failure.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.\" sysv_sem.c is quite explicit about these, so I'm pretty sure
|
|
.\" this is accurate
|
|
.\"
|
|
.It Bq Er EEXIST
|
|
IPC_CREAT and IPC_EXCL were specified, and a semaphore set
|
|
corresponding to
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
already exists.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The number of semaphores requested exceeds the system imposed maximum
|
|
per set.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOSPC
|
|
Insufficiently many semaphores are available.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOSPC
|
|
The kernel could not allocate a
|
|
.Fa "struct semid_ds" .
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOENT
|
|
No semaphore set was found corresponding to
|
|
.Fa key ,
|
|
and IPC_CREAT was not specified.
