18 /* SYNOPSIS */
19 AROS_LHA(struct SignalSemaphore *, sigSem, A1),
21 /* LOCATION */
22 struct ExecBase *, SysBase, 100, Exec)
24 /* FUNCTION
25 Adds a semaphore to the system public semaphore list. Since the
26 semaphore gets initialized by this function it must be free at
27 this time. Also the ln_Name field must be set.
29 INPUTS
30 sigSem - Pointer to semaphore structure
32 RESULT
34 NOTES
35 Semaphores are shared between the tasks that use them and must
36 therefore lie in public (or at least shared) memory.
