=head1 NAME

IPC::Semaphore - SysV Semaphore IPC object class

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use IPC::SysV qw(IPC_PRIVATE S_IRWXU IPC_CREAT);
    use IPC::Semaphore;

    $sem = new IPC::Semaphore(IPC_PRIVATE, 10, S_IRWXU | IPC_CREAT);

    $sem->setall( (0) x 10);

    @sem = $sem->getall;

    $ncnt = $sem->getncnt;

    $zcnt = $sem->getzcnt;

    $ds = $sem->stat;

    $sem->remove;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A class providing an object based interface to SysV IPC semaphores.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item new ( KEY , NSEMS , FLAGS )

Create a new semaphore set associated with C<KEY>. C<NSEMS> is the number
of semaphores in the set. A new set is created if

=over 4

=item *

C<KEY> is equal to C<IPC_PRIVATE>

=item *

C<KEY> does not already  have  a  semaphore  identifier
associated with it, and C<I<FLAGS> & IPC_CREAT> is true.

=back

On creation of a new semaphore set C<FLAGS> is used to set the
permissions.

=item getall

Returns the values of the semaphore set as an array.

=item getncnt ( SEM )

Returns the number of processes waiting for the semaphore C<SEM> to
become greater than its current value

=item getpid ( SEM )

Returns the process id of the last process that performed an operation
on the semaphore C<SEM>.

=item getval ( SEM )

Returns the current value of the semaphore C<SEM>.

=item getzcnt ( SEM )

Returns the number of processes waiting for the semaphore C<SEM> to
become zero.

=item id

Returns the system identifier for the semaphore set.

=item op ( OPLIST )

C<OPLIST> is a list of operations to pass to C<semop>. C<OPLIST> is
a concatenation of smaller lists, each which has three values. The
first is the semaphore number, the second is the operation and the last
is a flags value. See L<semop> for more details. For example

    $sem->op(
	0, -1, IPC_NOWAIT,
	1,  1, IPC_NOWAIT
    );

=item remove

Remove and destroy the semaphore set from the system.

=item set ( STAT )

=item set ( NAME => VALUE [, NAME => VALUE ...] )

C<set> will set the following values of the C<stat> structure associated
with the semaphore set.

    uid
    gid
    mode (only the permission bits)

C<set> accepts either a stat object, as returned by the C<stat> method,
or a list of I<name>-I<value> pairs.

=item setall ( VALUES )

Sets all values in the semaphore set to those given on the C<VALUES> list.
C<VALUES> must contain the correct number of values.

=item setval ( N , VALUE )

Set the C<N>th value in the semaphore set to C<VALUE>

=item stat

Returns an object of type C<IPC::Semaphore::stat> which is a sub-class of
C<Class::Struct>. It provides the following fields. For a description
of these fields see your system documentation.

    uid
    gid
    cuid
    cgid
    mode
    ctime
    otime
    nsems
