.SH NAME
semget \- get set of semaphores
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/sem.h>
\fBint\fR \fBsemget\fR(\fBkey_t\fR \fIkey\fR, \fBint\fR \fInsems\fR, \fBint\fR \fIsemflg\fR);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBsemget()\fR function returns the semaphore identifier associated with
\fIkey\fR.
.sp
.LP
A semaphore identifier and associated data structure and set containing
\fInsems\fR semaphores (see \fBIntro\fR(2)) are created for \fIkey\fR if one of
the following is true:
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
\fIkey\fR is equal to \fBIPC_PRIVATE\fR.
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
\fIkey\fR does not already have a semaphore identifier associated with it, and
(\fIsemflg\fR\fB&IPC_CREAT\fR) is true.
.RE
.sp
.LP
On creation, the data structure associated with the new semaphore identifier is
initialized as follows:
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
\fBsem_perm.cuid\fR, \fBsem_perm.uid\fR, \fBsem_perm.cgid\fR, and
\fBsem_perm.gid\fR are set equal to the effective user \fBID\fR and effective
group \fBID,\fR respectively, of the calling process.
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
The access permission bits of \fBsem_perm.mode\fR are set equal to the access
permission bits of \fIsemflg\fR.
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
\fBsem_nsems\fR is set equal to the value of \fInsems\fR.
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
\fBsem_otime\fR is set equal to 0 and \fBsem_ctime\fR is set equal to the
current time.
.RE
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, a non-negative integer representing a semaphore
identifier is returned. Otherwise, \fB\(mi1\fR is returned and \fBerrno\fR is
set to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
The \fBsemget()\fR function will fail if:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBEACCES\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
A semaphore identifier exists for \fIkey\fR, but operation permission (see
\fBIntro\fR(2)) as specified by the low-order 9 bits of \fIsemflg\fR would not
be granted.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBEEXIST\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
A semaphore identifier exists for \fIkey\fR but both
(\fIsemflg\fR\fB&IPC_CREAT\fR) and (\fIsemflg\fR\fB&IPC_EXCL\fR) are both true.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBEINVAL\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
The \fInsems\fR argument is either less than or equal to 0 or greater than the
system-imposed limit. See NOTES.
.sp
A semaphore identifier exists for \fIkey\fR, but the number of semaphores in
the set associated with it is less than \fInsems\fR and \fInsems\fR is not
equal to 0.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBENOENT\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
A semaphore identifier does not exist for \fIkey\fR and
(\fIsemflg\fR\fB&IPC_CREAT\fR) is false.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBENOSPC\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
A semaphore identifier is to be created but the system-imposed limit on the
maximum number of allowed semaphores or semaphore identifiers system-wide would
be exceeded. See NOTES.

The system-imposed limit on the number of semaphore identifiers is maintained

The \fBzone.max-sem-ids\fR resource control limis the total number of
semaphore identifiers that can be allocated by a zone.
