描述

This function has three or four arguments, depending on cmd. When there are four, the fourth has the type union semun. The calling program must define this union as follows:

union semun {
    int              val;    /* Value for SETVAL */
    struct semid_ds *buf;    /* Buffer for IPC_STAT, IPC_SET */
    unsigned short  *array;  /* Array for GETALL, SETALL */
    struct seminfo  *__buf;  /* Buffer for IPC_INFO
                                (Linux specific) */
};

The semid_ds data structure is defined in <sys/sem.h> as follows:

struct semid_ds {
    struct ipc_perm sem_perm;  /* Ownership and permissions
    time_t          sem_otime; /* Last semop time */
    time_t          sem_ctime; /* Last change time */
    unsigned short  sem_nsems; /* No. of semaphores in set */
};

The ipc_perm structure is defined in <sys/ipc.h> as follows (the highlighted fields are settable using IPC_SET):

struct ipc_perm {
    key_t key;            /* Key supplied to semget() */
    uid_t uid;            /* Effective UID of owner */
    gid_t gid;            /* Effective GID of owner */
    uid_t cuid;           /* Effective UID of creator */
    gid_t cgid;           /* Effective GID of creator */
    unsigned short mode;  /* Permissions */
    unsigned short seq;   /* Sequence number */
};

Valid values for cmd are:

struct  seminfo {
    int semmap;  /* # of entries in semaphore map;
                    unused */
    int semmni;  /* Max. # of semaphore sets */
    int semmns;  /* Max. # of semaphores in all
                    semaphore sets */
    int semmnu;  /* System-wide max. # of undo
                    structures; unused */
    int semmsl;  /* Max. # of semaphores in a set */
    int semopm;  /* Max. # of operations for semop() */
    int semume;  /* Max. # of undo entries per
                    process; unused */
    int semusz;  /* size of struct sem_undo */
    int semvmx;  /* Maximum semaphore value */
    int semaem;  /* Max. value that can be recorded for
                    semaphore adjustment (SEM_UNDO) */
};

返回值

Otherwise the system call returns a nonnegative value depending on cmd as follows:

错误

注意

Various fields in a struct semid_ds were shorts under Linux 2.2 and have become longs under Linux 2.4. To take advantage of this, a recompilation under glibc-2.1.91 or later should suffice. (The kernel distinguishes old and new calls by an IPC_64 flag in cmd.)

In some earlier versions of glibc, the semun union was defined in <sys/sem.h>, but POSIX.1-2001 requires that the caller define this union. On versions of glibc where this union is not defined, the macro _SEM_SEMUN_UNDEFINED is defined in <sys/sem.h>.

The following system limit on semaphore sets affects a semctl() call:

Under Linux, semctl() is not a system call, but is implemented via the system call ipc(2).
