Function Documentation
le_sem_Ref_t le_sem_Create | ( | const char * | name, |
int32_t | initialCount | ||
) |
Create a semaphore shared by threads within the same process.
- Note
- Terminates the process on failure, no need to check the return value for errors.
- Parameters
-
[in] name Name of the semaphore. [in] initialCount Initial number of semaphore.
void le_sem_Delete | ( | le_sem_Ref_t | semaphorePtr | ) |
Delete a semaphore.
- Parameters
-
[in] semaphorePtr Pointer to the semaphore.
le_sem_Ref_t le_sem_FindSemaphore | ( | const char * | name | ) |
Finds a specified semaphore's name.
- Returns
- Reference to the semaphore, or NULL if the semaphore doesn't exist.
- Parameters
-
[in] name Name of the semaphore.
int le_sem_GetValue | ( | le_sem_Ref_t | semaphorePtr | ) |
Get the value of a semaphore.
- Returns
- value of the semaphore
- Parameters
-
[in] semaphorePtr Pointer to the semaphore.
void le_sem_Post | ( | le_sem_Ref_t | semaphorePtr | ) |
Post a semaphore.
- Returns
- Nothing.
- Parameters
-
[in] semaphorePtr Pointer to the semaphore.
le_result_t le_sem_TryWait | ( | le_sem_Ref_t | semaphorePtr | ) |
Try to wait for a semaphore.
It's the same as le_sem_Wait, except if it can't be immediately performed, then returns an LE_WOULD_BLOCK instead of blocking it.
- Returns
- Upon successful completion, returns LE_OK (0), otherwise it returns LE_WOULD_BLOCK as the call would block if it was a blocking call.
- Parameters
-
[in] semaphorePtr Pointer to the semaphore.
void le_sem_Wait | ( | le_sem_Ref_t | semaphorePtr | ) |
Wait for a semaphore.
- Returns
- Nothing.
- Parameters
-
[in] semaphorePtr Pointer to the semaphore.
le_result_t le_sem_WaitWithTimeOut | ( | le_sem_Ref_t | semaphorePtr, |
le_clk_Time_t | timeToWait | ||
) |
Wait for a semaphore with a limit on how long to wait.
- Returns
- LE_OK The function succeed
- LE_TIMEOUT timeToWait elapsed
- Note
- When LE_TIMEOUT occurs the semaphore is not decremented.
- Parameters
-
[in] semaphorePtr Pointer to the semaphore. [in] timeToWait Time to wait
