<h4><a name="tag_13_41_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>&lt;semaphore.h&gt;</i> header shall define the <b>sem_t</b> type, used in performing semaphore operations. The semaphore
may 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 shall be defined (see <a href="../functions/sem_open.html"><i>sem_open</i>()</a>).</p>
<p>The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.</p>
<pre>
<tt>int sem_close(sem_t *);
int sem_destroy(sem_t *);
int sem_getvalue(sem_t *restrict, int *restrict);
int sem_init(sem_t *, int, unsigned);
sem_t *sem_open(const char *, int, ...);
int sem_post(sem_t *);
<sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('TMO')">TMO</a>]</sup><img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt="[Option Start]" border="0">
int sem_timedwait(sem_t *restrict, const struct timespec *restrict);
<img src="../images/opt-end.gif" alt="[Option End]" border="0">
int sem_trywait(sem_t *);
int sem_unlink(const char *);
int sem_wait(sem_t *);
</tt>
</pre>
<p>Inclusion of the <i>&lt;semaphore.h&gt;</i> header may make visible symbols defined in the headers <a href=
"../basedefs/fcntl.h.html"><i>&lt;fcntl.h&gt;</i></a> and <a href=
"../basedefs/sys/types.h.html"><i>&lt;sys/types.h&gt;</i></a>.</p>

<p>First released in Issue 5. Included for alignment with the POSIX Realtime Extension.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_13_41_09"></a>Issue 6</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>&lt;semaphore.h&gt;</i> header is marked as part of the Semaphores option.</p>
<p>The Open Group Corrigendum U021/3 is applied, adding a description of SEM_FAILED.</p>
<p>The <a href="../functions/sem_timedwait.html"><i>sem_timedwait</i>()</a> function is added for alignment with
IEEE&nbsp;Std&nbsp;1003.1d-1999.</p>
<p>The <b>restrict</b> keyword is added to the prototypes for <a href="../functions/sem_getvalue.html"><i>sem_getvalue</i>()</a>
and <a href="../functions/sem_timedwait.html"><i>sem_timedwait</i>()</a>.</p>
