/*
Has anybody figured out how to use System V { while (1) printf(".2") }
semaphores? Are they `real' semaphores (i.e. Dijkstra-like)? Are they
better (more general)? Does TPC (The Phone Company) plan to rewrite its
documentation so that people can figure them out? I eat manuals for
lunch, so if *I* don't get it, a lot of people won't either. Is there a
tutorial buried somewhere in the documentation? (To be fair, I think
BSD's IPC would be abstruse without the tutorial as well).
