/*
 * Provide an simpler and easier to understand interface to the System V
 * semaphore system calls.  There are 7 routines available to the user:
 *
 *      id = sem_create(key, initval);  # create with initial value or open
 *      id = sem_open(key);             # open (must already exist)
 *      sem_wait(id);                   # wait = P = down by 1
 *      sem_signal(id);                 # signal = V = up by 1
 *      sem_op(id, amount);             # wait   if (amount < 0)
 *                                      # signal if (amount > 0)
 *      sem_close(id);                  # close
 *      sem_rm(id);                     # remove (delete)
 *
 * We create and use a 3-member set for the requested semaphore.
 * The first member, [0], is the actual semaphore value, and the second
 * member, [1], is a counter used to know when all processes have finished
 * with the semaphore.  The counter is initialized to a large number,
 * decremented on every create or open and incremented on every close.
 * This way we can use the "adjust" feature provided by System V so that
 * any process that exit's without calling sem_close() is accounted
 * for.  It doesn't help us if the last process does this (as we have
 * no way of getting control to remove the semaphore) but it will
 * work if any process other than the last does an exit (intentional
 * or unintentional).
 * The third member, [2], of the semaphore set is used as a lock variable
 * to avoid any race conditions in the sem_create() and sem_close()
 * functions.
