Ah, yes, the semctl system call appears to return the absolute
semaphore value. I didn't look at that, just the semop man page,
thanks for the pointer.
You'll have to try harder if you want to get paid, though. Anyway, my
daughter would probably drive you to suicide within 3 days, and I
don't know what you'd do with a 275MHz PI.V machine with a 8.5"
monitor (5 points to the person who decodes that reference ;)
