NAME
       semaphore.h, semaphore - semaphores

SYNOPSIS
       #include <semaphore.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The  <semaphore.h>  header  defines  the sem_t type, used in performing semaphore operations. The semaphore can be implemented using a file
       descriptor, in which case applications are able to open up at least a total of {OPEN_MAX} files and semaphores. The  symbol  SEM_FAILED	is
       defined (see sem_open(3RT)).

       Inclusion  of  the <semaphore.h> header can make visible symbols defined in the headers <fcntl.h> and <sys/types.h>. See fcntl.h(3HEAD) and
       types.h(3HEAD).
