- Fix for possible unset uid/gid in toproto - Fix for default mtree style - Update libelf - Importing libexecinfo - Resynchronize GCC, mpc, gmp, mpfr - build.sh: Replace params with show-params. This has been done as the make target has been renamed in the same way, while a new target named params has been added. This new target generates a file containing all the parameters, instead of printing it on the console. - Update test48 with new etc/services (Fix by Ben Gras <ben@minix3.org) get getservbyport() out of the inner loop Change-Id: Ie6ad5226fa2621ff9f0dee8782ea48f9443d2091

.Sh NAME
|

.Nm ftok
|
|
.Nd create IPC identifier from path name
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|

|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In sys/ipc.h
|
|
.Ft key_t
|
|
.Fn ftok "const char *path" "int id"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ftok
|
|
function attempts to create a unique key suitable for use with the
|
|
.Xr msgget 2 ,
|
|
.Xr semget 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr shmget 2
|
|
functions given the
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
of an existing file and a user-selectable
|
|
.Fa id .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The specified
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
must specify an existing file that is accessible to the calling process
|
|
or the call will fail.
|
|
Also, note that links to files will return the same key, given the same
|
|
.Fa id .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Only the 8 least significant bits of
|
|
.Fa id
|
|
are used in the key generation; the rest of the bits are ignored.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ftok
|
|
function will return ((key_t)-1) if
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
does not exist or if it cannot be accessed by the calling process.
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr msgget 2 ,
|
|
.Xr semget 2 ,
|
|
.Xr shmget 2
|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ftok
|
|
function conforms to
|
|
.St -p1003.1 .
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ftok
|
|
function originated with System V and is typically used by programs
|
|
that use the System V IPC routines.
|
|
.Sh AUTHORS
|
|
.An Thorsten Lockert Aq Mt tholo@sigmasoft.com
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The returned key is computed based on the device and inode of the
|
|
specified
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
in combination with the given
|
|
.Fa id .
|
|
Thus it is quite possible for the routine to return duplicate keys
|
|
given that those fields are not 8- and 16-bit quantities like they
|
|
were on System V based systems where this library routine's ancestor
|
|
were originally created.
