[SunHELP] What is the purpose of SEMAPHORES???

[Christopher Smiga]

I was recently asked what a semaphore was in Solaris and I could not answer
this question. Does anyone know what the purpose of this is. I believe they
can be set up in "/etc/system", but that's all I know. Any information would
be appreciated.

Thank you,
Christopher Smiga
