@subheading DESCRIPTION:
This function attemtps to lock a semaphore specified by @code{sem}, and will
wait for the semaphore for an interval specified by @code{timeout}. If the
semaphore is available, then the semaphore is locked (i.e., the semaphore
value is decremented) and the function returns a value of 0. The semaphore
remains locked until released by a @code{sem_post()} call. If the semaphore
is unavailable, then the function will wait for the semaphore to become
available for the amount of time specified by @code{timeout}.
This function attemtps to lock a semaphore specified by @code{sem},
and will wait for the semaphore until the absolute time specified by
@code{abstime}. If the semaphore is available, then the semaphore is
locked (i.e., the semaphore value is decremented) and the function
returns a value of 0. The semaphore remains locked until released by
a @code{sem_post()} call. If the semaphore is unavailable, then the
function will wait for the semaphore to become available for the amount
of time specified by @code{timeout}.
If the semaphore does not become available within the interval specified by
@code{timeout}, then the function returns -1 and sets @code{errno} to EAGAIN.
