making use of a Semaphore

can any one tell me how to run a semaphore. i understand roughly how they work code wise, but i'm not sure how to make use of them. i have two client programs in csh that perform tasks on a server file (flat file) how the i get the semaphore to lock the file when one has accessed it and how to use it to prevent deadlock. Is it done by accessing the file through the semaphore?
