Also, note that links to files will return the -same key, given the same -.Fa id . -.Sh RETURN VALUES -The -.Fn ftok -function will return -1 if -.Fa path -does not exist or if it cannot be accessed by the calling process. -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr semget 2 , -.Xr shmget 2 , -.Xr msgget 3 -.Sh HISTORY -The -.Fn ftok -function originates with System V and is typically used by programs -that use the System V IPC routines. -.Sh AUTHORS -.An Thorsten Lockert Aq tholo@sigmasoft.com -.Sh BUGS -The returned key is computed based on the device minor number and inode of the -specified -.Fa path -in combination with the lower 8 bits of the given -.Fa id . -Thus it is quite possible for the routine to return duplicate keys. |
