An ongoing issue this one I know....I just replied to a thread which clearly was homework (they stated it was!). What I suggested to them was firstly to read the rules (of course) and then to use the search functionality - as a form of research.
Having studied myself, something like this forum has a lot of information that would be helpful - seeing other real world examples to 'help' me figure out my problems. I would suggest that while we definitely won't do peoples homework for them... a standard response which is a bit friendlier than 'go away' would be 'read the rules - and - use the search'
Thoughts?

sem_wait
SEM_WAIT(2) BSD System Calls Manual SEM_WAIT(2)
NAME
sem_trywait, sem_wait -- lock a semaphore
SYNOPSIS
#include <semaphore.h>
int
sem_trywait(sem_t *sem);
int
sem_wait(sem_t *sem);
DESCRIPTION
The semaphore referenced by sem is locked. When calling sem_wait(), if the semaphore's value is zero, the calling thread will block until
the lock is acquired or until the call is interrupted by a signal. Alternatively, the sem_trywait() function will fail if the semaphore is
already locked, rather than blocking on the semaphore.
If successful (the lock was acquired), sem_wait() and sem_trywait() will return 0. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set, and the state
of the semaphore is unchanged.
ERRORS
sem_wait() and sem_trywait() succeed unless:
[EAGAIN] The semaphore is already locked.
[EDEADLK] A deadlock was detected.
[EINTR] The call was interrupted by a signal.
[EINVAL] sem is not a valid semaphore descriptor.
NOTES
Applications may encounter a priority inversion while using semaphores. When a thread is waiting on a semaphore which is about to be posted
by a lower-priority thread and the lower-priority thread is preempted by another thread (of medium priority), a priority inversion has
occured, and the higher-priority thread will be blocked for an unlimited time period. Programmers using the realtime functionality of the
system should take care to avoid priority inversions.
SEE ALSO
sem_open(2), sem_post(2), semctl(2), semget(2), semop(2)
HISTORY
sem_wait() and sem_trywait() are specified in the POSIX Realtime Extension (1003.1b-1993/1003.1i-1995).
