CreateSemaphore():
Item CreateSemaphore( const char *name, uint8 pri )name argument is the name to give to the new semaphore. You can use the FindSemaphore() macro described later in this chapter to find the semaphore by name. To ensure that FindSemaphore() finds the correct semaphore, you must provide a unique name for each semaphore you create.
The pri argument determines where this semaphore will be placed within the list of all semaphores in the system. A higher priority puts it closer to the start of the list. CreateSemaphore() returns the item number of the new semaphore or an error code (a negative value) if an error occurred.
To delete a semaphore created with CreateSemaphore(), use the DeleteSemaphore() function described in Deleting a Semaphore.
