Subject: Semaphores: a tutorial & examples (LONG!)
From: rico@oscvax.UUCP (Rico Mariani)
This article contains basically everything I've been able to find out
about the two kinds of semaphores on the Amiga. The example programs
are written such that you can run several copies of them and they won't
mix each others output up (that's what the semaphores are used for).
The last copy of the programs to exit cleans up all the semaphore goo
that was needed to make it all work. There are two programs provided,
one that uses straight semaphores and one that uses signal semaphores.
These programs (especially the 2nd) are based on the examples/info
provided by CATS. Thanks CATS!
(As far as I know there aren't any bugs in these but I've been wrong
before...)
