| 9 * Description: named semaphores for interprocess | |
| 10 * synchronization | |
| 11 * | |
| 12 * Unrelated processes obtain access to a shared semaphore | |
| 13 * by specifying its name. | |
| 14 * | |
| 15 * Our goal is to support named semaphores on at least | |
| 16 * Unix and Win32 platforms. The implementation will use | |
| 17 * one of the three native semaphore APIs: POSIX, System V, | |
| 18 * and Win32. | |
| 19 * | |
| 20 * Because POSIX named semaphores have kernel persistence, | |
| 21 * we are forced to have a delete function in this API. | |
