// Baselib_Semaphore

// In computer science, a semaphore is a variable or abstract data type used to control access to a common resource by multiple processes in a concurrent
// system such as a multitasking operating system. A semaphore is simply a variable. This variable is used to solve critical section problems and to achieve
// process synchronization in the multi processing environment. A trivial semaphore is a plain variable that is changed (for example, incremented or
// decremented, or toggled) depending on programmer-defined conditions.
//
// A useful way to think of a semaphore as used in the real-world system is as a record of how many units of a particular resource are available, coupled with
// operations to adjust that record safely (i.e. to avoid race conditions) as units are required or become free, and, if necessary, wait until a unit of the
// resource becomes available.

// This is the max number of tokens guaranteed to be held by the semaphore at
// any given point in time. Tokens submitted that exceed this value may silently be discarded.
