semop KEY,OPSTRING
Calls the System
V
IPC function semop to perform semaphore operations such as signaling and waiting.
OPSTRING must be a packed array of semop structures. Each semop structure can be generated with
pack("sss", $semnum, $semop, $semflag). The number of semaphore operations is implied by the length of
OPSTRING. Returns
TRUE if successful, or
FALSE if there is an error. As an example, the following code waits on semaphore $semnum of semaphore id $semid:
$semop = pack("sss", $semnum, -1, 0);
die "Semaphore trouble: $!\n" unless semop($semid, $semop);
To signal the semaphore, replace ``-1'' with ``1''.
