The <TT>semtool</TT> program relies on command line arguments to determine its behavior. This is
|
|
what makes it especially useful when called from a shell script. All of the capabilities are
|
|
provided, from creating and manipulating, to changing the permissions and finally
|
|
removing a semaphore set. It can be used to control shared resources via standard shell scripts.
