RTI_INT32 *  fail_reason 
)

Take a semaphore.

Parameters:
[in]selfSemaphore previously created with OSAPI_Semaphore_new.
[in]timeoutTimeout in ms. The take call will wait at most timeout ms before returning. If OSAPI_SEMAPHORE_TIMEOUT_INFINITE is specified, the call will not return until the semaphore has a value of 1 or higher.
[out]fail_reasonThis parameter is not used, but present for compatability reasons.
Returns:
RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure.
