Remarks

For cross-platform functionality, call NWSignalSemaphore.

An application must call this function when finished accessing the network resource associated with the semaphore. If there are processes waiting to use the semaphore (the semaphore value is negative), the first process in the queue is released (signaled).

An application should obtain a semaphore handle by calling OpenSemaphore.
