Method Descriptions¶
void post ( )
Lowers the Semaphore, allowing one more thread in.
bool try_wait ( )
Like wait, but won't block, so if the value is zero, fails immediately and returns false
. If non-zero, it returns true
to report success.
void wait ( )
Waits for the Semaphore, if its value is zero, blocks until non-zero.
