ABSTRACT:
An information structure called a semaphore serves as a signalling mechanism in process synchronization. The semaphore is used to relate a process and an event which do not appear simultaneously. In accomplishing this, the semaphore is capable of storing the presence of events or resources waiting for processes or, alternatively, the presence of processes waiting for events or resources via a queue.
