+sys/sem.h \- XSI semaphore facility
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <sys/sem.h> \fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fI<sys/sem.h>\fP header shall define the following constants
+and structures.
+.LP
+Semaphore operation flags:
+.TP 7
+SEM_UNDO
+Set up adjust on exit entry.
+.sp
+.LP
+Command definitions for the \fIsemctl\fP() function shall be provided
+as follows:
+.TP 7
+GETNCNT
+Get \fIsemncnt\fP.
+.TP 7
+GETPID
+Get \fIsempid\fP.
+.TP 7
+GETVAL
+Get \fIsemval\fP.
+.TP 7
+GETALL
+Get all cases of \fIsemval\fP.
+.TP 7
+GETZCNT
+Get \fIsemzcnt\fP.
+.TP 7
+SETVAL
+Set \fIsemval\fP.
+.TP 7
+SETALL
+Set all cases of \fIsemval\fP.
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBsemid_ds\fP structure shall contain the following members:
+.sp
+.RS
+.nf
+
+\fBstruct ipc_perm sem_perm \fP Operation permission structure. \fB
+unsigned short sem_nsems\fP Number of semaphores in set. \fB
+time_t sem_otime\fP Last \fIsemop\fP
+ () time. \fB
+time_t sem_ctime\fP Last time changed by \fIsemctl\fP
+ (). \fB
+\fP
+.fi
+.RE
+.LP
+The \fBpid_t\fP, \fBtime_t\fP, \fBkey_t\fP, and \fBsize_t\fP types
+shall be defined as described in \fI<sys/types.h>\fP .
+.LP
+A semaphore shall be represented by an anonymous structure containing
+the following members:

+
+\fBunsigned short semval \fP Semaphore value. \fB
+pid_t sempid \fP Process ID of last operation. \fB
+unsigned short semncnt \fP Number of processes waiting for \fIsemval\fP \fB
+ \fP to become greater than current value. \fB
+unsigned short semzcnt \fP Number of processes waiting for \fIsemval\fP \fB
+ \fP to become 0. \fB
+\fP
+.fi
+.RE
+.LP
+The \fBsembuf\fP structure shall contain the following members:
