|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/sem.h>
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn semget "key_t key" "int nsems" "int semflg"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn semget
|
|
system call returns the semaphore identifier associated with
|
|
.Fa key .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A new set containing
|
|
.Fa nsems
|
|
semaphores is created if either
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
is equal to
|
|
.Dv IPC_PRIVATE ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
does not have a semaphore set associated with it and the
|
|
.Dv IPC_CREAT
|
|
bit is set in
|
|
.Fa semflg.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a new set of semaphores is created, the data structure associated with it
|
|
(the
|
|
.Va semid_ds
|
|
structure, see
|
|
.Xr semctl 2 )
|
|
is initialized as follows:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va sem_perm.cuid
|
|
and
|
|
.Va sem_perm.uid
|
|
are set to the effective uid of the calling process.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va sem_perm.gid
|
|
and
|
|
.Va sem_perm.cgid
|
|
are set to the effective gid of the calling process.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va sem_perm.mode
|
|
is set to the lower 9 bits of
|
|
.Fa semflg .
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va sem_nsems
|
|
is set to the value of
|
|
.Fa nsems .
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va sem_ctime
|
|
is set to the current time.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va sem_otime
|
|
is set to 0.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn semget
|
|
returns a non-negative semaphore identifier if successful. Otherwise, -1
|
|
is returned and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to reflect the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EACCES
|
|
The caller has no permission to access a semaphore set already associated with
|
|
.Fa key.
|
|
.It Bq Er EEXIST
|
|
Both
|
|
.Dv IPC_CREAT
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv IPC_EXCL
|
|
are set in
|
|
.Fa semflg ,
|
|
and a semaphore set is already associated with
|
|
.Fa key .
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
.Va nsems
|
|
is less than 0 or greater than the system limit for the number in a semaphore
|
|
set.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A semaphore set associated with
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
exists, but has fewer semaphores than the number specified in
|
|
.Fa nsems .
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOSPC
|
|
A new set of semaphores could not be created because the system limit
|
|
for the number of semaphores or the number of semaphore sets has been
|
|
reached.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOENT
|
|
.Dv IPC_CREAT
|
|
is not set in
|
|
.Fa semflg
|
|
and no semaphore set associated with
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
was found.
