Module Name:

    semphobj.c

Abstract:

    This module implements the kernel semaphore object. Functions
    are provided to initialize, read, and release semaphore objects.

Author:

Environment:

    Kernel mode only.

/*++

Routine Description:

    This function initializes a kernel semaphore object. The initial
    count and limit of the object are set to the specified values.

Arguments:

    Semaphore - Supplies a pointer to a dispatcher object of type
        semaphore.

    Count - Supplies the initial count value to be assigned to the
        semaphore.

    Limit - Supplies the maximum count value that the semaphore
        can attain.

Return Value:

    None.

Routine Description:

    This function reads the current signal state of a semaphore object.

Arguments:

    Semaphore - Supplies a pointer to a dispatcher object of type
        semaphore.

Return Value:

    The current signal state of the semaphore object.

KeReleaseSemaphore (
    IN PRKSEMAPHORE Semaphore,
    IN KPRIORITY Increment,
    IN LONG Adjustment,
    IN BOOLEAN Wait
    )

/*++

Routine Description:

    This function releases a semaphore by adding the specified adjustment
    value to the current semaphore count and attempts to satisfy as many
    Waits as possible. The previous signal state of the semaphore object
    is returned as the function value.

Arguments:

    Semaphore - Supplies a pointer to a dispatcher object of type
        semaphore.

    Increment - Supplies the priority increment that is to be applied
        if releasing the semaphore causes a Wait to be satisfied.

    Adjustment - Supplies value that is to be added to the current
        semaphore count.

    Wait - Supplies a boolean value that signifies whether the call to
        KeReleaseSemaphore will be immediately followed by a call to one
        of the kernel Wait functions.

Return Value:

    The previous signal state of the semaphore object.
