How about the path of the library? It must be in some known location
to be loaded at runtime.

Yes that is my query what path to choose to make sure that it would
generate same key in both dylib and app.

If you use the same path and same id for ftok on both processes
then you
will get the same key for use with semget. This is precisely the
purpose of
ftok.

Thanks. The problem I have to give file path to generate key. How
will
I ensure that the path I am giving will work always to generate the
same key? I have one application and another is dynamic library
and I
want to generate the same key in both to use.

Why exactly do you want to avoid ftok? It's a good way to
generate shared
keys.
It's always possible to generate an integer key some other way
yourself
and
then you just have to figure out how to communicate it across
processes.
You
could write it to a file or send it over a socket.

Is it possible to use semget() without using ftok() for IPC
communication?
Please suggest me.

Hi all
I tried to use sem_init() but I think it is not there to use.
It is
declared in semaphore.h but when I do man sem_init() then it
gives
the
message "No manual entry for sem_init".
Now, I am using sem_open(). I think it is right API to create
unique
semaphore between multi-processes. But creating it in one
process if
I
try to create in another process, the value of semaphore is
not same.
I am using same name in both process(1st argument of
sem_open()).
Please suggest to create semaphore (cross-processes).
POSIX unnamed semaphores are not supported.
Use either POSIX named semaphores, or use System V semaphores:
man sem_open
man semget
