osl_acquireSemaphore
extern "C"
sal_Bool osl_acquireSemaphore(
oslSemaphore Semaphore );

virtual abstract const volatile template static inline C-linkage
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO YES

D E P R E C A T E D
Summary
acquire()decreases the count. It will block if it tries to decrease below zero.
Description
Must not be used, as unnamed semaphores are not supported on Mac OS X.
Return
False if the system-call failed.

osl_createSemaphore
extern "C"
oslSemaphore osl_createSemaphore(
sal_uInt32 initialCount );

virtual abstract const volatile template static inline C-linkage
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO YES

D E P R E C A T E D
Summary
Creates a semaphore.
Description
Must not be used, as unnamed semaphores are not supported on Mac OS X.
Parameters
InitialCount
denotes the starting value the semaphore. If you set it to
    zero, the first acquire() blocks. Otherwise InitialCount acquire()s  are
    immedeatly  successfull.
    
Return
0 if the semaphore could not be created, otherwise a handle to the sem.

osl_destroySemaphore
extern "C"
void osl_destroySemaphore(
oslSemaphore Semaphore );

virtual abstract const volatile template static inline C-linkage
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO YES

D E P R E C A T E D
Summary
Release the OS-structures and free semaphore data-structure
Description
Must not be used, as unnamed semaphores are not supported on Mac OS X.
Return
fbbb

osl_releaseSemaphore
extern "C"
sal_Bool osl_releaseSemaphore(
oslSemaphore Semaphore );

virtual abstract const volatile template static inline C-linkage
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO YES

D E P R E C A T E D
Summary
release()increases the count.
Description
Must not be used, as unnamed semaphores are not supported on Mac OS X.
Return
False if the system-call failed.

osl_tryToAcquireSemaphore
extern "C"
sal_Bool osl_tryToAcquireSemaphore(
oslSemaphore Semaphore );

virtual abstract const volatile template static inline C-linkage
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO YES

D E P R E C A T E D
Description
tryToAcquire()tries to decreases the count. It will return with False if it would decrease the count below zero. (When acquire() would block.) If it could successfully decrease the count, it will return True. Must not be used, as unnamed semaphores are not supported on Mac OS X.
