Class Semaphore

A semaphore manages an internal counter which is decremented by each acquire() call and incremented by each release() call. The counter can never go below zero; when acquire() finds that it is zero, it blocks, waiting until some other thread calls release().

The optional argument gives the initial value for the internal counter; it defaults to 1.

This class is not thread safe.
