Picking POSIX semaphore names

Show all headers | View raw

POSIX only defines the behaviour of semaphore names that start with a
slash and contain no other slashes.  But have users always access to
create such names?  They can show up in the filesystem, and non-root
users do not have access to create entries in the root directory.

For that matter, it sounds annoying if "ls /" lists a large number of
named semaphores.  Have any conventions emerged for where to put them
on systems where their names do show up in the filesystem?  /tmp/
springs to mind - on systems where that works, anyway.
