FT_NWSEMWAIT()
Wait on a NetWare semaphore (decrement)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Syntax

FT_NWSEMWAIT( <nHandle> [, nTimeout ] ) -> nRc

Arguments

<nHandle> is the semaphore handle, returned from a previous call
to FT_NWSEMOPEN().

<nTimeOut> is an optional parameter telling how long you wish to
wait on this semaphore. This is a numeric indicating the number
of clock ticks (approx 1/18 sec ) to wait. A zero (the default)
means "don't wait."

Returns

nRc, a numeric, as follows:

0 - success
254 - timeout failure
255 - invalid semaphore handle

Description

See the description for the FT_NWSEMOPEN() function.

Examples

FT_NWSEMOPEN( "Semaphore Test", nInitVal, @nHandle, @nOpenCnt )

nRc := FT_NWSEMWAIT( nHandle )
IF nRc == 254
QOUT( "All slots for this resource are currently in use" )
QUIT
ENDIF
