Detailed Description

A semaphore for managing exclusive access to resources across multiple processes.

Provides the ability to limit access to a resource to one process at a time.

The semaphore uses a second semaphore to manage its lifetime. The first process to create it creates the system wide semaphore, and the last to delete it removes the system wide semaphore.
