PROLOG <\/a> <\/h2>\n

This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer\u2019s Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.<\/p>\n

NAME <\/a> <\/h2>\n

semget \u2014 get set of XSI semaphores<\/p>\n

SYNOPSIS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

#include <\/p>\n

int semget(key_t key<\/i>, int nsems<\/i>, int semflg<\/i>);<\/p>\n

DESCRIPTION <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The semget<\/i>() function operates on XSI semaphores (see the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2017, Section 4.17<\/i>, Semaphore<\/i>). It is unspecified whether this function interoperates with the realtime interprocess communication facilities defined in Section 2.8<\/i>, Realtime<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The semget<\/i>() function shall return the semaphore identifier associated with key<\/i>.<\/p>\n

A semaphore identifier with its associated semid_ds<\/b> data structure and its associated set of nsems<\/i> semaphores (see <\/i>) is created for key<\/i> if one of the following is true:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

*<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

The argument key<\/i> is equal to IPC_PRIVATE.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

*<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

The argument key<\/i> does not already have a semaphore identifier associated with it and (semflg<\/i> &IPC_CREAT) is non-zero.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Upon creation, the semid_ds<\/b> data structure associated with the new semaphore identifier is initialized as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

*<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

In the operation permissions structure sem_perm.cuid<\/i>, sem_perm.uid<\/i>, sem_perm.cgid<\/i>, and sem_perm.gid<\/i> shall be set to the effective user ID and effective group ID, respectively, of the calling process.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

*<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

The low-order 9 bits of sem_perm.mode<\/i> shall be set to the low-order 9 bits of semflg<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

*<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

The variable sem_nsems<\/i> shall be set to the value of nsems<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

*<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

The variable sem_otime<\/i> shall be set to 0 and sem_ctime<\/i> shall be set to the current time, as described in Section 2.7.1<\/i>, IPC General Description<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

*<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

The data structure associated with each semaphore in the set need not be initialized. The semctl<\/i>() function with the command SETVAL or SETALL can be used to initialize each semaphore.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

RETURN VALUE <\/a> <\/h2>\n

Upon successful completion, semget<\/i>() shall return a non-negative integer, namely a semaphore identifier; otherwise, it shall return \u22121 and set errno<\/i> to indicate the error.<\/p>\n

ERRORS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The semget<\/i>() function shall fail if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

EACCES<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

A semaphore identifier exists for key<\/i>, but operation permission as specified by the low-order 9 bits of semflg<\/i> would not be granted; see Section 2.7<\/i>, XSI Interprocess Communication<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

EEXIST<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

A semaphore identifier exists for the argument key<\/i> but ((semflg<\/i> &IPC_CREAT) &&(semflg<\/i> &IPC_EXCL)) is non-zero.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

EINVAL<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

The value of nsems<\/i> is either less than or equal to 0 or greater than the system-imposed limit, or a semaphore identifier exists for the argument key<\/i>, but the number of semaphores in the set associated with it is less than nsems<\/i> and nsems<\/i> is not equal to 0.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

ENOENT<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

A semaphore identifier does not exist for the argument key<\/i> and (semflg<\/i> &IPC_CREAT) is equal to 0.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

ENOSPC<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

A semaphore identifier is to be created but the system-imposed limit on the maximum number of allowed semaphores system-wide would be exceeded.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

The following sections are informative.<\/i><\/p>\n

EXAMPLES <\/a> <\/h2>\n

Refer to semop<\/i>().<\/p>\n

APPLICATION USAGE <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The POSIX Realtime Extension defines alternative interfaces for interprocess communication. Application developers who need to use IPC should design their applications so that modules using the IPC routines described in Section 2.7<\/i>, XSI Interprocess Communication<\/i> can be easily modified to use the alternative interfaces.<\/p>\n

RATIONALE <\/a> <\/h2>\n

None.<\/p>\n

FUTURE DIRECTIONS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

A future version may require that the value of the semval<\/i>, sempid<\/i>, semncnt<\/i>, and semzcnt<\/i> members of all semaphores in a semaphore set be initialized to zero when a call to semget<\/i>() creates a semaphore set. Many semaphore implementations already do this and it greatly simplifies what an application must do to initialize a semaphore set.<\/p>\n
