NAME
sem_post - unlock a semaphoreSYNOPSIS
#include <semaphore.h> int sem_post(sem_t *sem);
DESCRIPTION
sem_post() increments (unlocks) the semaphore pointed to by sem. If the semaphore's value consequently becomes greater than zero, then another process or thread blocked in a sem_wait(3) call will be woken up and proceed to lock the semaphore.RETURN VALUE
sem_post() returns 0 on success; on error, the value of the semaphore is left unchanged, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.ERRORS
- EINVAL
- sem is not a valid semaphore.
