sem_get — Get a semaphore id

### Descrierea

sem_get ( int `$key` [, int `$max_acquire` = 1 [, int `$perm` = 0666 [, int `$auto_release` = 1 ]]] ) : resource

sem_get() returns an id that can be used to access the System V semaphore with the given `key`.

A second call to sem_get() for the same key will return a different semaphore identifier, but both identifiers access the same underlying semaphore.

### Parametri

`key`

`max_acquire`

  The number of processes that can acquire the semaphore simultaneously is set to `max_acquire`.

`perm`

  The semaphore permissions. Actually this value is set only if the process finds it is the only process currently attached to the semaphore.

`auto_release`

  Specifies if the semaphore should be automatically released on request shutdown.

### Valorile întoarse

Returns a positive semaphore identifier on success, or `FALSE` on error.

### Note

Avertizare

When using sem_get() to access a semaphore created outside PHP, note that the semaphore must have been created as a set of 3 semaphores (for example, by specifying 3 as the nsems parameter when calling the C semget() function), otherwise PHP will be unable to access the semaphore.
