- Semaphore
- =========
- **Inherits:** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`
- A synchronization semaphore.
- Description
- -----------
- A synchronization semaphore which can be used to synchronize multiple :ref:`Thread<class_Thread>`\ s. Initialized to zero on creation. Be careful to avoid deadlocks. For a binary version, see :ref:`Mutex<class_Mutex>`.

- Method Descriptions
- -------------------
- .. _class_Semaphore_method_post:
- - void **post** **(** **)**
- Lowers the ``Semaphore``, allowing one more thread in.
- ----
- .. _class_Semaphore_method_try_wait:
- - :ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` **try_wait** **(** **)**
- Like :ref:`wait<class_Semaphore_method_wait>`, but won't block, so if the value is zero, fails immediately and returns :ref:`@GlobalScope.ERR_BUSY<class_@GlobalScope_constant_ERR_BUSY>`. If non-zero, it returns :ref:`@GlobalScope.OK<class_@GlobalScope_constant_OK>` to report success.
- ----
- .. _class_Semaphore_method_wait:
- - void **wait** **(** **)**
- Waits for the ``Semaphore``, if its value is zero, blocks until non-zero.
