<p>The <strong>sem_open_np()</strong> function opens a named semaphore,
|
||
|
|
returning a semaphore pointer that may be used on subsequent calls to <strong>
|
||
|
|
sem_post()</strong>, <strong>sem_post_np()</strong>, <strong>
|
||
|
|
sem_wait()</strong>, <strong>sem_wait_np()</strong>, <strong>
|
||
|
|
sem_trywait()</strong>, <strong>sem_getvalue()</strong>, and <strong>
|
||
|
|
sem_close()</strong>. If a named semaphore is being created, the parameters
|
||
|
|
<em>mode</em>, <em>value</em>, and <em>attr</em> are used to set the
|
||
|
|
permissions, value, and maximum value of the created semaphore.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If <strong>sem_open_np()</strong> is called multiple times within the same
|
||
|
|
process using the same name, <strong>sem_open_np()</strong> will return a
|
||
|
|
pointer to the same semaphore, as long as another process has not used <strong>
|
||
|
|
sem_unlink()</strong> to unlink the semaphore.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If <strong>sem_open_np()</strong> is called from a program using data model
|
||
|
|
LLP64, the returned semaphore pointer must be declared as a <samp>sem_t
|
||
|
|
*__ptr128</samp>.</p>

<h3>Parameters</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dl>
|
||
|
|
<dt><strong>name</strong></dt>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dd>(Input) A pointer to the null-terminated name of the semaphore to be
|
||
|
|
opened. The name should begin with a slash ('/') character. If the name does
|
||
|
|
not begin with a slash ('/') character, the system adds a slash to the
|
||
|
|
beginning of the name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This parameter is assumed to be represented in the CCSID (coded character
|
||
|
|
set identifier) currently in effect for the job. If the CCSID of the job is
|
||
|
|
65535, this parameter is assumed to be represented in the default CCSID of the
|
||
|
|
job.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The name is added to a set of names used by named semaphores only. The name
|
||
|
|
has no relationship to any file system path names. The maximum length of the
|
||
|
|
name is SEM_NAME_MAX.</p>

||
|
