POSIX semaphores allow processes and threads to synchronize their actions.
A semaphore is an integer whose value is never allowed to fall below zero. Two operations can be performed on semaphores: increment the semaphore value by one (sem_post); and decrement the semaphore value by one (sem_wait). If the value of a semaphore is currently zero, then a sem_wait operation will block until the value becomes greater than zero.
POSIX semaphores come in two forms: named semaphores and unnamed semaphores.
