A class providing an object based interface to SysV IPC semaphores.
KEY. NSEMS is the number
of semaphores in the set. A new set is created if
KEY is equal to IPC_PRIVATE
KEY does not already have a semaphore identifier
associated with it, and FLAGS & IPC_CREAT is true.
On creation of a new semaphore set FLAGS is used to set the
permissions.

OPLIST is a list of operations to pass to semop. OPLIST is
a concatenation of smaller lists, each which has three values. The
first is the semaphore number, the second is the operation and the last
is a flags value. See semop for more details. For example
$sem->op(
0, -1, IPC_NOWAIT,
1, 1, IPC_NOWAIT
);
set will set the following values of the stat structure associated
with the semaphore set.
uid
gid
mode (only the permission bits)
set accepts either a stat object, as returned by the stat method,
or a list of name-value pairs.
VALUES list.
VALUES must contain the correct number of values.
Nth value in the semaphore set to VALUE
IPC::Semaphore::stat which is a sub-class of
Class::Struct. It provides the following fields. For a description
of these fields see your system documentation.
uid
gid
cuid
cgid
mode
ctime
otime
nsems
