This is an integer that is never negative, and has two main operations: increment (post) and decrement (wait). If a decrement can't be performed (because the value is 0) the caller will be blocked until another thread posts and the operation can succeed. Semaphores can be created with any starting value, but typically this will be 0 so the semaphore can be used as a simple signal where each post corresponds to one wait. Semaphores are very efficient (much moreso than a mutex/cond pair). In particular, at least on Linux, post is async-signal-safe, which means it does not block and will not be interrupted. If you need to signal from a realtime thread, this is the most appropriate primitive to use. */ typedef struct ZixSemImpl ZixSem; /** Create `sem` with the given `initial` value. @return #ZIX_STATUS_SUCCESS, or an unlikely error. */ ZIX_API ZixStatus zix_sem_init(ZixSem* ZIX_NONNULL sem, unsigned initial); /** Destroy `sem`. @return #ZIX_STATUS_SUCCESS, or an error. */ ZIX_API ZixStatus zix_sem_destroy(ZixSem* ZIX_NONNULL sem); /** Increment and signal any waiters.
