This module provides semaphore functions using System V
|
||
|
|
semaphores. Semaphores may be used to provide exclusive access to
|
||
|
|
resources on the current machine, or to limit the number of
|
||
|
|
processes that may simultaneously use a resource.

|
|
This module provides also shared memory functions using System V
|
||
|
|
shared memory. Shared memory may be used to provide access to
|
||
|
|
global variables. Different httpd-daemons and even other programs
|
||
|
|
(such as Perl, C, ...) are able to access this data to provide a
|
||
|
|
global data-exchange. Remember, that shared memory is NOT safe
|
||
|
|
against simultaneous access. Use semaphores for synchronization.
