Ok, any of you guys have a copy of the standards documents that describe the sem_* API? I have a question... What are the semantics of the sem_init when pshared is set to true? Like, if the process that created the semaphore exits, then what? Is it only valid for the life of the process that did the sem_init? Or am I going to have to do some nastyness to record the memory location where the semaphore is and track that page's allocation? little help here... :) -- -Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] 'Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.'
