SEM_GETVALUE(3) Linux Programmer's Manual SEM_GETVALUE(3) NAME sem_getvalue - get the value of a semaphore SYNOPSIS #include <semaphore.h> int sem_getvalue(sem_t *restrict sem, int *restrict sval); Link with -pthread. DESCRIPTION sem_getvalue() places the current value of the semaphore pointed to sem into the integer pointed to by sval. If one or more processes or threads are blocked waiting to lock the semaphore with sem_wait(3), POSIX.1 permits two possibilities for the value returned in sval: either 0 is returned; or a negative number whose absolute value is the count of the number of processes and threads currently blocked in sem_wait(3). Linux adopts the former behavior. RETURN VALUE sem_getvalue() returns 0 on success; on error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS EINVAL sem is not a valid semaphore. (The glibc implementation currently does not check whether sem is valid.)
