сгенерировать ключ IPC (generate an IPC key)

Пролог (Prolog)

This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's 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.

Имя (Name)

ftok — generate an IPC key

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <sys/ipc.h>

key_t ftok(const char *path, int id);


Описание (Description)

The ftok() function shall return a key based on path and id that
       is usable in subsequent calls to msgget(), semget(), and
       shmget().  The application shall ensure that the path argument is
       the pathname of an existing file that the process is able to
       stat(), with the exception that if stat() would fail with
       [EOVERFLOW] due to file size, ftok() shall still succeed.

The ftok() function shall return the same key value for all paths that name the same file, when called with the same id value, and should return different key values when called with different id values or with paths that name different files existing on the same file system at the same time. It is unspecified whether ftok() shall return the same key value when called again after the file named by path is removed and recreated with the same name.

Only the low-order 8-bits of id are significant. The behavior of ftok() is unspecified if these bits are 0.


Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

Upon successful completion, ftok() shall return a key. Otherwise,
       ftok() shall return (key_t)-1 and set errno to indicate the
       error.

Ошибки (Error)

The ftok() function shall fail if:

EACCES Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.

EIO An error occurred while reading from the file system.

ELOOP A loop exists in symbolic links encountered during resolution of the path argument.

ENAMETOOLONG The length of a component of a pathname is longer than {NAME_MAX}.

ENOENT A component of path does not name an existing file or path is an empty string.

ENOTDIR A component of the path prefix names an existing file that is neither a directory nor a symbolic link to a directory, or the path argument contains at least one non-<slash> character and ends with one or more trailing <slash> characters and the last pathname component names an existing file that is neither a directory nor a symbolic link to a directory.

The ftok() function may fail if:

ELOOP More than {SYMLOOP_MAX} symbolic links were encountered during resolution of the path argument.

ENAMETOOLONG The length of a pathname exceeds {PATH_MAX}, or pathname resolution of a symbolic link produced an intermediate result with a length that exceeds {PATH_MAX}.

The following sections are informative.


Примеры (Examples)

Getting an IPC Key
       The following example gets a key based on the pathname /tmp and
       the ID value a.  It also assigns the value of the resulting key
       to the semkey variable so that it will be available to a later
       call to semget(), msgget(), or shmget().

#include <sys/ipc.h> ... key_t semkey;

if ((semkey = ftok("/tmp", 'a')) == (key_t) -1) { perror("IPC error: ftok"); exit(1); }


Использование в приложениях (Application usage)

For maximum portability, id should be a single-byte character.

Applications should not assume that the resulting key value is unique.


Обоснование (Rationale)

None.

Будущие направления (Future directions)

Future versions of this standard may add new interfaces to
       provide unique keys.
