\(em XSI semaphore facility
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <sys/sem.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.IR <sys/sem.h>
header shall define the following symbolic constant for use as a
semaphore operation flag:
.IP SEM_UNDO 12
Set up adjust on exit entry.
.P
The
.IR <sys/sem.h>
header shall define the following symbolic constants for use as
commands for the
\fIsemctl\fR()
function:
.IP GETNCNT 12
Get
.IR semncnt .
.IP GETPID 12
Get
.IR sempid .
.IP GETVAL 12
Get
.IR semval .
.IP GETALL 12
Get all cases of
.IR semval .
.IP GETZCNT 12
Get
.IR semzcnt .
.IP SETVAL 12
Set
.IR semval .
.IP SETALL 12
Set all cases of
.IR semval .
.P
The
.IR <sys/sem.h>
header shall define the
.BR semid_ds
structure, which shall include the following members:
.sp
.RS 4
.nf
struct ipc_perm sem_perm \fROperation permission structure.\fR
unsigned short sem_nsems \fRNumber of semaphores in set.\fR
time_t sem_otime \fRLast \fIsemop\fP\^(\|) time.\fR
time_t sem_ctime \fRLast time changed by \fIsemctl\fP\^(\|).\fR
.fi
.P

.P
The
.IR <sys/sem.h>
header shall define the
.BR pid_t ,
.BR size_t ,
and
.BR time_t
types as described in
.IR <sys/types.h> .
.P
A semaphore shall be represented by an anonymous structure,
which shall include the following members:
.sp
.RS 4
.nf
unsigned short semval \fRSemaphore value.\fR
pid_t sempid \fRProcess ID of last operation.\fR
unsigned short semncnt \fRNumber of processes waiting for \fIsemval\fR
\fRto become greater than current value.\fR
unsigned short semzcnt \fRNumber of processes waiting for \fIsemval\fR
\fRto become 0.\fR
.fi
.P
.RE
.P
The
.IR <sys/sem.h>
header shall define the
.BR sembuf
structure, which shall include the following members:

.RS 4
.nf
unsigned short sem_num \fRSemaphore number.\fR
short sem_op \fRSemaphore operation.\fR
short sem_flg \fROperation flags.\fR
