From: Mike Ditto <ford@kenobi.uucp> Not all the IPC functions are directly mappable to read, write, etc., (what should reading from a semaphore do?) It should do (dare I say it?) a P operation! And a write could do a V. Multiple counts could be specified by the byte count! And you could query the semaphore or specify no waiting by using an ioctl! Are we having fun yet?
