17=head1 DESCRIPTION 17=head1 DESCRIPTION
18 18
19This module implements counting semaphores. You can initialize a mutex
20with any level of parallel users, that is, you can intialize a sempahore
21that can be C<down>ed more than once until it blocks. There is no owner
22associated with semaphores, so one coroutine can C<down> it while another
23can C<up> it.
24
25Counting semaphores are typically used to coordinate access to
26resources, with the semaphore count initialized to the number of free
27resources. Coroutines then increment the count when resources are added
28and decrement the count when resources are removed.

42=item new [inital count]
43
44Creates a new sempahore object with the given initial lock count. The
45default lock count is 1, which means it is unlocked by default. Zero (or
46negative values) are also allowed, in which case the semaphore is locked
47by default.

55=item $sem->down
56
57Decrement the counter, therefore "locking" the semaphore. This method
58waits until the semaphore is available if the counter is zero.
59
60=item $status = $sem->timed_down($timeout)
61
62Like C<down>, but returns false if semaphore couldn't be acquired within
63$timeout seconds, otherwise true.

46 } 107 }
47} 108}
48 109
110=item $sem->try
111
112Try to C<down> the semaphore. Returns true when this was possible,
113otherwise return false and leave the semaphore unchanged.

126=item $sem->waiters
127
128In scalar context, returns the number of coroutines waiting for this
129semaphore.

136
137=item $guard = $sem->guard
138
139This method calls C<down> and then creates a guard object. When the guard
140object is destroyed it automatically calls C<up>.
141
142=item $guard = $sem->timed_guard($timeout)
143
144Like C<guard>, but returns undef if semaphore couldn't be acquired within
145$timeout seconds, otherwise the guard object.

148
149sub guard {
150 &down;
151 # double indirection because bless works on the referenced
152 # object, not (only) on the reference itself.
