(

void

)

Create a semaphore.

Returns:

Pointer to a semaphore with a value of 1 on success, NULL on failure.

See Also OSAPI_Semaphore_delete

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_Semaphore_delete

(

OSAPI_Semaphore_T *

self

)

Delete a semaphore.

Parameters:

[in]

self

Semaphore created with OSAPI_Semaphore_new.

Returns:

RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure.

See Also OSAPI_Semaphore_new

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_Semaphore_take	(	OSAPI_Semaphore_T *	self,
		RTI_INT32	timeout,
		RTI_INT32 *	fail_reason
	)

Take a semaphore.

Parameters:

[in]	self	Semaphore previously created with OSAPI_Semaphore_new.
[in]	timeout	Timeout 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_reason	This parameter is not used, but present for compatibility reasons.

Returns:

RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure.

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_Semaphore_give

(

OSAPI_Semaphore_T *

self

)

Give a semaphore.

Parameters:

[in]

self

Semaphore previously created with OSAPI_Semaphore_new.

Returns:

RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure.
