semop — XSI semaphore operations
Синопсис (Synopsis)
#include <sys/sem.h>
int semop(int semid, struct sembuf *sops, size_t nsops);
Описание (Description)
The semop() function operates on XSI semaphores (see the Base
Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2017, Section 4.17, Semaphore). It
is unspecified whether this function interoperates with the
realtime interprocess communication facilities defined in Section
2.8, Realtime.
The semop() function shall perform atomically a user-defined
array of semaphore operations in array order on the set of
semaphores associated with the semaphore identifier specified by
the argument semid.
The argument sops is a pointer to a user-defined array of
semaphore operation structures. The implementation shall not
modify elements of this array unless the application uses
implementation-defined extensions.
The argument nsops is the number of such structures in the array.
Each structure, sembuf, includes the following members:
┌───────────────┬───────────────┬──────────────────────────┐
│ Member Type │ Member Name │ Description │
├───────────────┼───────────────┼──────────────────────────┤
│unsigned short │ sem_num │Semaphore number. │
│short │ sem_op │Semaphore operation. │
│short │ sem_flg │Operation flags. │
└───────────────┴───────────────┴──────────────────────────┘
Each semaphore operation specified by sem_op is performed on the
corresponding semaphore specified by semid and sem_num.
The variable sem_op specifies one of three semaphore operations:
1. If sem_op is a negative integer and the calling process has
alter permission, one of the following shall occur:
* If semval(see <sys/sem.h>) is greater than or equal to
the absolute value of sem_op, the absolute value of
sem_op is subtracted from semval. Also, if (sem_flg
&SEM_UNDO) is non-zero, the absolute value of sem_op
shall be added to the semadj value of the calling process
for the specified semaphore.
* If semval is less than the absolute value of sem_op and
(sem_flg &IPC_NOWAIT) is non-zero, semop() shall return
immediately.
* If semval is less than the absolute value of sem_op and
(sem_flg &IPC_NOWAIT) is 0, semop() shall increment the
semncnt associated with the specified semaphore and
suspend execution of the calling thread until one of the
following conditions occurs:
-- The value of semval becomes greater than or equal to
the absolute value of sem_op. When this occurs, the
value of semncnt associated with the specified
semaphore shall be decremented, the absolute value of
sem_op shall be subtracted from semval and, if
(sem_flg &SEM_UNDO) is non-zero, the absolute value
of sem_op shall be added to the semadj value of the
calling process for the specified semaphore.
-- The semid for which the calling thread is awaiting
action is removed from the system. When this occurs,
errno shall be set to [EIDRM] and -1 shall be
returned.
-- The calling thread receives a signal that is to be
caught. When this occurs, the value of semncnt
associated with the specified semaphore shall be
decremented, and the calling thread shall resume
execution in the manner prescribed in sigaction(3p).
2. If sem_op is a positive integer and the calling process has
alter permission, the value of sem_op shall be added to
semval and, if (sem_flg &SEM_UNDO) is non-zero, the value of
sem_op shall be subtracted from the semadj value of the
calling process for the specified semaphore.
3. If sem_op is 0 and the calling process has read permission,
one of the following shall occur:
* If semval is 0, semop() shall return immediately.
* If semval is non-zero and (sem_flg &IPC_NOWAIT) is non-
zero, semop() shall return immediately.
* If semval is non-zero and (sem_flg &IPC_NOWAIT) is 0,
semop() shall increment the semzcnt associated with the
specified semaphore and suspend execution of the calling
thread until one of the following occurs:
-- The value of semval becomes 0, at which time the
value of semzcnt associated with the specified
semaphore shall be decremented.
-- The semid for which the calling thread is awaiting
action is removed from the system. When this occurs,
errno shall be set to [EIDRM] and -1 shall be
returned.
-- The calling thread receives a signal that is to be
caught. When this occurs, the value of semzcnt
associated with the specified semaphore shall be
decremented, and the calling thread shall resume
execution in the manner prescribed in sigaction(3p).
Upon successful completion, the value of sempid for each
semaphore specified in the array pointed to by sops shall be set
to the process ID of the calling process. Also, the sem_otime
timestamp shall be set to the current time, as described in
Section 2.7.1, IPC General Description.
Возвращаемое значение (Return value)
Upon successful completion, semop() shall return 0; otherwise, it
shall return -1 and set errno to indicate the error.
Ошибки (Error)
The semop() function shall fail if:
E2BIG The value of nsops is greater than the system-imposed
maximum.
EACCES Operation permission is denied to the calling process; see
Section 2.7, XSI Interprocess Communication.
EAGAIN The operation would result in suspension of the calling
process but (sem_flg &IPC_NOWAIT) is non-zero.
EFBIG The value of sem_num is greater than or equal to the
number of semaphores in the set associated with semid.
EIDRM The semaphore identifier semid is removed from the system.
EINTR The semop() function was interrupted by a signal.
EINVAL The value of semid is not a valid semaphore identifier, or
the number of individual semaphores for which the calling
process requests a SEM_UNDO would exceed the system-
imposed limit.
ENOSPC The limit on the number of individual processes requesting
a SEM_UNDO would be exceeded.
ERANGE An operation would cause a semval to overflow the system-
imposed limit, or an operation would cause a semadj value
to overflow the system-imposed limit.
The following sections are informative.
Примеры (Examples)
Setting Values in Semaphores
The following example sets the values of the two semaphores
associated with the semid identifier to the values contained in
the sb array.
#include <sys/sem.h>
...
int semid;
struct sembuf sb[2];
int nsops = 2;
int result;
/* Code to initialize semid. */
...
/* Adjust value of semaphore in the semaphore array semid. */
sb[0].sem_num = 0;
sb[0].sem_op = -1;
sb[0].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO | IPC_NOWAIT;
sb[1].sem_num = 1;
sb[1].sem_op = 1;
sb[1].sem_flg = 0;
result = semop(semid, sb, nsops);
Creating a Semaphore Identifier
The following example gets a unique semaphore key using the
ftok() function, then gets a semaphore ID associated with that
key using the semget() function (the first call also tests to
make sure the semaphore exists). If the semaphore does not
exist, the program creates it, as shown by the second call to
semget(). In creating the semaphore for the queuing process, the
program attempts to create one semaphore with read/write
permission for all. It also uses the IPC_EXCL flag, which forces
semget() to fail if the semaphore already exists.
After creating the semaphore, the program uses calls to semctl()
and semop() to initialize it to the values in the sbuf array. The
number of processes that can execute concurrently without queuing
is initially set to 2. The final call to semget() creates a
semaphore identifier that can be used later in the program.
Processes that obtain semid without creating it check that
sem_otime is non-zero, to ensure that the creating process has
completed the semop() initialization.
The final call to semop() acquires the semaphore and waits until
it is free; the SEM_UNDO option releases the semaphore when the
process exits, waiting until there are less than two processes
running concurrently.

Использование в приложениях (Application usage)
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, XSI Interprocess
Communication can be easily modified to use the alternative
interfaces.
