Function Documentation

SemaphoreP_constructMutex()

int32_t SemaphoreP_constructMutex

(

SemaphoreP_Object *

obj

)

Create a mutex semaphore object.

Parameters

obj	[out] created object

Returns

SystemP_SUCCESS on success, SystemP_FAILURE on error

SemaphoreP_constructBinary()

int32_t SemaphoreP_constructBinary	(	SemaphoreP_Object *	obj,
		uint32_t	initValue
	)

Create a binary semaphore object.

Parameters

obj	[out] created object
initValue	[in] Initial value of the binary semaphore, MUST be 0 or 1

Returns

SystemP_SUCCESS on success, SystemP_FAILURE on error

SemaphoreP_constructCounting()

int32_t SemaphoreP_constructCounting	(	SemaphoreP_Object *	obj,
		uint32_t	initValue,
		uint32_t	maxValue
	)

Create a counting semaphore object.

Parameters

obj	[out] created object
initValue	[in] Initial value of the counting semaphore, MUST be between 0 .. maxValue
maxValue	[in] Maximum value of counting semaphore

Returns

SystemP_SUCCESS on success, SystemP_FAILURE on error

SemaphoreP_destruct()

void SemaphoreP_destruct

(

SemaphoreP_Object *

obj

)

Cleanup, delete, destruct a semaphore object.

Parameters

obj	[in] semaphore object

SemaphoreP_post()

void SemaphoreP_post

(

SemaphoreP_Object *

obj

)

Post a semaphore object or unlock a mutex.

Parameters

obj	[in] semaphore object

SemaphoreP_pend()

int32_t SemaphoreP_pend	(	SemaphoreP_Object *	obj,
		uint32_t	timeToWaitInTicks
	)

Pend on a semaphore object or lock a mutex.

Parameters

obj	[in] semaphore object
timeToWaitInTicks	[in] amount of time to block waiting for semaphore to be available, in units of system ticks (see Clock)

Returns

SystemP_SUCCESS on successful acquire of the semaphore

SystemP_TIMEOUT on failure to acquire the semaphore due to timeout condition

SystemP_FAILURE on failure to acquire the semaphore due to other conditions

SemaphoreP_getCount()

(

SemaphoreP_Object *

obj

)

Function to return the count of a semaphore.

Parameters

obj	A SemaphoreP_Handle

Returns

The count of the semaphore
