>&#13;   This module provides semaphore functions using System V semaphores.
   Semaphores may be used to provide exclusive access to resources
   on the current machine, or to limit the number of processes that
   may simultaneously use a resource.</P
><P
>&#13;   This module provides also shared memory functions using System V
   shared memory. Shared memory may be used to provide access to
   global variables. Different httpd-daemons and even other programs
   (such as Perl, C, ...) are able to access this data to provide a
   global data-exchange. Remember, that shared memory is NOT safe
   against simultaneous access. Use semaphores for synchronization.
