sem_post - unlock a semaphore (
REALTIME)
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
#include <semaphore.h>
int sem_post(sem_t *
sem);
The
sem_post() function shall unlock the semaphore referenced by
sem by performing a semaphore unlock operation on that semaphore.
If the semaphore value resulting from this operation is positive, then no
threads were blocked waiting for the semaphore to become unlocked; the
semaphore value is simply incremented.
If the value of the semaphore resulting from this operation is zero, then one of
the threads blocked waiting for the semaphore shall be allowed to return
successfully from its call to
sem_wait(). If the Process
Scheduling option is supported, the thread to be unblocked shall be chosen in
a manner appropriate to the scheduling policies and parameters in effect for
the blocked threads. In the case of the schedulers SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR,
the highest priority waiting thread shall be unblocked, and if there is more
than one highest priority thread blocked waiting for the semaphore, then the
highest priority thread that has been waiting the longest shall be unblocked.
If the Process Scheduling option is not defined, the choice of a thread to
unblock is unspecified.
If the Process Sporadic Server option is supported, and the scheduling policy is
SCHED_SPORADIC, the semantics are as per SCHED_FIFO above.
The
sem_post() function shall be reentrant with respect to signals and
may be invoked from a signal-catching function.
If successful, the
sem_post() function shall return zero; otherwise, the
function shall return -1 and set
errno to indicate the error.
The
sem_post() function shall fail if:
- EINVAL
- The sem argument does not refer to a valid
semaphore.

sem_post() function is part of the Semaphores option and need not be
