NAME
sys/sem.h - XSI semaphore facility
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/sem.h>
DESCRIPTION
The <sys/sem.h> header shall define the following constants and struc-
tures.
Semaphore operation flags:
SEM_UNDO
Set up adjust on exit entry.
Command definitions for the semctl() function shall be provided as fol-
lows:
GETNCNT
Get semncnt.
GETPID Get sempid.
GETVAL Get semval.
GETALL Get all cases of semval.
GETZCNT
Get semzcnt.
SETVAL Set semval.
SETALL Set all cases of semval.
The semid_ds structure shall contain the following members:
struct ipc_perm sem_perm Operation permission structure.
unsigned short sem_nsems Number of semaphores in set.
time_t sem_otime Last semop
() time.
time_t sem_ctime Last time changed by semctl
().
The pid_t, time_t, key_t, and size_t types shall be defined as
described in <sys/types.h> .
A semaphore shall be represented by an anonymous structure containing
the following members:
unsigned short semval Semaphore value.
pid_t sempid Process ID of last operation.
unsigned short semncnt Number of processes waiting for semval
to become greater than current value.
unsigned short semzcnt Number of processes waiting for semval
to become 0.
The sembuf structure shall contain the following members:
unsigned short sem_num Semaphore number.
short sem_op Semaphore operation.
short sem_flg Operation flags.
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
int semctl(int, int, int, ...);
int semget(key_t, int, int);
int semop(int, struct sembuf *, size_t);
In addition, all of the symbols from <sys/ipc.h> shall be defined when
this header is included.
The following sections are informative.
