Detailed Description

Semaphore class.

This class implements a semaphore. A semaphore represents a value that can be incremented and decremented. If the semaphore's value is 0 and decrement is called, the calling thread is blocked until the semaphore is > 0, then the value is decremented. Increments and decrements are atomic operations, i.e. they are thread-safe.
