- Method Descriptions
- -------------------
- .. _class_Semaphore_method_post:
- - :ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` **post** **(** **)**
- Lowers the ``Semaphore``, allowing one more thread in. Returns :ref:`@GlobalScope.OK<class_@GlobalScope_constant_OK>` on success, :ref:`@GlobalScope.ERR_BUSY<class_@GlobalScope_constant_ERR_BUSY>` otherwise.
- ----
- .. _class_Semaphore_method_wait:
- - :ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` **wait** **(** **)**
- Tries to wait for the ``Semaphore``, if its value is zero, blocks until non-zero. Returns :ref:`@GlobalScope.OK<class_@GlobalScope_constant_OK>` on success, :ref:`@GlobalScope.ERR_BUSY<class_@GlobalScope_constant_ERR_BUSY>` otherwise.
