+ NAME
+ rendezvous - user level process synchronization
+
+ SYNOPSIS
+ ulong rendezvous(ulong tag, ulong value)
+
+ DESCRIPTION
+ The rendezvous system call allows two processes to synchro-
+ nize and exchange a value. In conjunction with the shared
+ memory system calls (see segattach(2) and fork(2)), it
+ enables parallel programs to control their scheduling.
+
+ Two processes wishing to synchronize call rendezvous with a
+ common tag, typically an address in memory they share. One
+ process will arrive at the rendezvous first; it suspends
+ execution until a second arrives. When a second process
+ meets the rendezvous the value arguments are exchanged
+ between the processes and returned as the result of the
+ respective rendezvous system calls. Both processes are
+ awakened when the rendezvous succeeds.
+
+ The set of tag values which two processes may use to
+ rendezvous-their tag space-is inherited when a process
+ forks, unless RFREND is set in the argument to rfork; see
+ fork(2).
+
+ If a rendezvous is interrupted the return value is ~0, so
+ that value should not be used in normal communication.
+
+ * This assumes we're using pthreads and simulates rendezvous using
+ * shared memory and mutexes.
