SYNCSEMAPHORE(3) 1 SYNCSEMAPHORE(3) The SyncSemaphore classINTRODUCTIONA cross-platform, native implementation of named and unnamed sempahore objects. A semaphore restricts access to a limited resource to a limited number of instances. Semaphores differ from mutexes in that they can allow more than one instance to access a resource at one time while a mutex only allows one instance at a time.CLASS SYNOPSISSyncSemaphore SyncSemaphore Methods o public SyncSemaphore::__construct ([string $name], [integer $initialval], [bool $autounlock]) o public bool SyncSemaphore::lock ([integer $wait]) o public bool SyncSemaphore::unlock ([integer &$prevcount]) PHP Documentation Group SYNCSEMAPHORE(3)
