\class QSemaphore
\brief The QSemaphore class provides a general counting semaphore.
\threadsafe
\ingroup thread
\ingroup environment
A semaphore is a generalization of a mutex. While a mutex can
only be locked once, it's possible to acquire a semaphore
multiple times. Semaphores are typically used to protect a
certain number of identical resources.
Semaphores support two fundamental operations, acquire() and
release():
\list
\o acquire(\e{n}) tries to acquire \e n resources. If there aren't
that many resources available, the call will block until this
is the case.
\o release(\e{n}) releases \e n resources.
\endlist
There's also a tryAcquire() function that returns immediately if
it cannot acquire the resources, and an available() function that
returns the number of available resources at any time.
Example:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_thread_qsemaphore.cpp 0
A typical application of semaphores is for controlling access to
a circular buffer shared by a producer thread and a consumer
thread. The \l{threads/semaphores}{Semaphores} example shows how
to use QSemaphore to solve that problem.
A non-computing example of a semaphore would be dining at a
restaurant. A semaphore is initialized with the number of chairs
in the restaurant. As people arrive, they want a seat. As seats
are filled, available() is decremented. As people leave, the
available() is incremented, allowing more people to enter. If a
party of 10 people want to be seated, but there are only 9 seats,
those 10 people will wait, but a party of 4 people would be
seated (taking the available seats to 5, making the party of 10
people wait longer).

calling acquire(), i.e. this function will wait forever for
resources to become available if \a timeout is negative.
