| * Description: named semaphores for interprocess |
| * synchronization |
| * |
| * Unrelated processes obtain access to a shared semaphore |
| * by specifying its name. |
| * |
| * Our goal is to support named semaphores on at least |
| * Unix and Win32 platforms. The implementation will use |
| * one of the three native semaphore APIs: POSIX, System V, |
| * and Win32. |
| * |
| * Because POSIX named semaphores have kernel persistence, |
| * we are forced to have a delete function in this API. |
