Thanks for clearing that up Paul.

I want to determine how many active semaphores are on my system, and
I'm not sure how this can be done. It seems I can know how many
semaphores are allowed by using the sysctl command. Someone had
suggested that the ipcs command would be helpful. When I use it like
this:
ipcs -as
This is the output I get, which I don't find to be helpful:
Semaphores:
T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP CREATOR CGROUP
NSEMS OTIME CTIME
What command can give me the information I am seeking?
The sem_open, sem_close, sem_unlink family of routines implement
POSIX semaphores.
The semop, semget, semctl family implement System V semaphores.
ipcs and ipcrm only view and delete System V objects. I don't know
of any way to view what POSIX semaphores are in existence. And
from memory, you're using the POSIX routines, hence nothing from
ipcs.
I think I led you down the wrong path with ipcs!
