Name
semop
Synopsis
semop key, opstring
Calls the System V IPC system call semop(2)
to perform semaphore operations
such as signaling and waiting. opstring
must be a packed array of semop
structures. You can make each semop
structure by saying pack('s*', $semnum, $semop, $semflag)
.
The number of semaphore operations is implied by the length of
opstring
. The function returns true if
successful or false if there is an error. On error, it puts the
error code into $!
. Before
calling, you should say:
require "ipc.ph"; require "sem.ph";
This function is available only on machines supporting System V IPC.
