VMS Help CRTL, semget, Description *Conan The Librarian |
The semget function returns the semaphore identifier associated
with key.
A semaphore identifier with its associated semid_ds data
structure and its associated set of nsems semaphores (see
the <sys/sem.h> header file) is created for key if one of the
following is true:
o The key argument is equal to IPC_PRIVATE.
o The key argument does not already have a semaphore identifier
associated with it and (semflg &IPC_CREAT) is nonzero.
When it is created, the semid_ds data structure associated with
the new semaphore identifier is initialized as follows:
o In the operation permissions structure sem_perm.cuid, sem_
perm.uid, sem_perm.cgid, and sem_perm.gid are set equal to the
effective user ID and effective group ID, respectively, of the
calling process.
o The low-order 9 bits of sem_perm.mode are set equal to the
low-order 9 bits of the semflg argument.
o The variable sem_nsems is set equal to the value of the nsems
argument.
o The variable sem_otime is set equal to 0 and the variable sem_
ctime is set equal to the current time.
o The data structure associated with each semaphore in the
set does not need to be initialized. You can use the semctl
function with the command SETVAL or SETALL to initialize each
semaphore.
