<methods>
<method name="post">
<return type="void">

Lowers the [Semaphore], allowing one more thread in.

</method>
<method name="try_wait">
<return type="int" enum="Error">
</return>
<description>
Like [method wait], but won't block, so if the value is zero, fails immediately and returns [constant ERR_BUSY]. If non-zero, it returns [constant OK] to report success.
</description>
</method>
<method name="wait">
<return type="void">
</return>
<description>
Waits for the [Semaphore], if its value is zero, blocks until non-zero.
