Validation

Compared to SEMA_INDEX_MAX (currently 65,535) and reset to that value if larger. A warning message is written to the console, messages file, or both.

When to Change

When the default number of sets is not enough. Generally changed at the recommendation of software vendors. No error messages are displayed when an attempt is made to create more sets than are currently configured. Instead, the application receives a return code of ENOSPC from a semget call.
