Semaphore Object

The RTSS semaphore object is a synchronization object that maintains a count between zero and a specified maximum value. The count is decreased by one each time a thread completes a wait for the semaphore object; the count is increased by a variable amount at the semaphore release. When the count reaches zero, the semaphore object's state is no longer signaled and no more threads can complete a wait on the semaphore object until some thread increases the count.
