IPC通信:Posix信号灯
信号灯用来实现同步——用于多线程，多进程之间同步共享资源（临界资源）。信号灯分两种，一种是有名信号灯，一种是基于内存的信号灯。有名信号灯，是根据外部名字标识，通常指代文件系统中的某个文件。而基于内存的信号灯，它主要是把信号灯放入内存的，基于内存的信号灯，同步多线程时，可以放到该多线程所属进程空间里；如果是同步多进程，那就需要把信号灯放入到共享内存中（方便多个进程访问）。
有名信号灯和基于内存的信号灯，具体区别体现在创建和销毁两个函数。有名信号灯使用sem_open和sem_close函数。基于内存的信号灯使用sem_init和sem_destroy函数。sem_init的参数可以控制是同步多线程，还是多进程；且该函数只能调用1次，因为调用后信号灯就存在了（ 内存指针存在）。一般，使用基于内存的信号灯同步同进程多线程，使用有名信号灯同步多进程。
有名信号灯同步多线程：
1 1.sem_open函数。 2 功能:创建并初始化信号灯，如果存在就返回存在的信号灯。 3 头文件:#include <semaphore.h> 4 函数原型:sem_t * sem_open(const char * name,int oflag,mode_t mode,unsigned int value); 5 或者:sem_t * sem_open(const char * name,int oflag); 6 参数:name是给信号灯指定一个名字。oflag的值为O_CREAT,表示如果信号灯不存在，创建信号灯；为O_CREAT|O_EXCL,如果信号灯不存在报错。后面两个参数，只有新建信号灯时使用。mode为信号灯的权限（0644）,value为信号灯的值。 7 返回值:成功时，返回信号灯的指针，错误返回SEM_FAILED 8 9 2.sem_close函数。 10 功能:关闭引用信号灯，信号灯引用计数减1。 11 头文件:#include <semaphore.h> 12 函数原型:int sem_close(sem_t * sem) 13 参数:sem为信号灯的指针 14 返回值:成功时，返回0，失败，-1 15 注:每个信号灯有一个引用计数器记录当前打开次数.关闭一个信号灯并没有将它从系统中删除，而是信号灯引用计数减1 16 17 18 3.sem_unlink函数 19 功能:信号灯引用计数为0时，从系统中删除信号灯。 20 头文件:#include <semaphore.h> 21 函数原型:int sem_close(const char *name) 22 参数:name为信号灯的外部名字 23 返回值：成功时，返回0，失败，-1 24 25 4.sem_wait/sem_trywait函数 26 功能:等待共享资源，信号灯值为0就睡眠，信号灯值大于0，就使用共享资源，信号灯值减1。sem_trywait当信号灯值为0时，不睡眠，报错。 27 头文件:#include <semaphore.h> 28 函数原型:int sem_wait(sem_t *sem),int sem_trywait(sem_t *sem) 29 参数:sem为信号灯指针 30 返回值:成功时，返回0，失败，-1 31 32 5.sem_getvalue函数 33 功能:获得信号灯的值 34 头文件:#include <semaphore.h> 35 函数原型:int sem_getvalue(sem_t *sem,int *valp) 36 参数:sem为信号灯指针，valp为信号灯的值 37 返回值:成功时，返回0，失败，-1 38 39 6.sem_post函数 40 功能:使用完共享资源后，信号灯值加1，唤醒其他睡眠的。 41 头文件:#include <semaphore.h> 42 函数原型:int sem_post(sem_t *sem) 43 参数:sem为信号灯指针 44 返回值:成功时，返回0，失败，-1

有名信号灯同步多进程:
unix网络编程第二卷，如是说不同进程（不管是否彼此有无亲缘关系），他们都可以访问同一个信号灯，只是需要在sem_open的时候传入的名字是一样就行。在有亲缘关系时，Posix中的fork如是描述，在父进程中打开的任何信号灯，仍应在子进程中打开。
