+Semaphores provide a mechanism to regulate access to resources. Unlike
+locks, semaphores aren't tied to particular scalars, and so may be used to
control access to anything you care to use them for.
-Semaphores don't limit their values to zero or one, so they can be used to
-control access to some resource that there may be more than one of. (For
-example, filehandles.) Increment and decrement amounts aren't fixed at one
-either, so threads can reserve or return multiple resources at once.

+=head1 METHODS

-=item new
+=item ->new()
+
+=item ->new(NUMBER)
-=item new NUMBER
+C<new> creates a new semaphore, and initializes its count to the specified
+number (which must be an integer). If no number is specified, the
+semaphore's count defaults to 1.
-C<new> creates a new semaphore, and initializes its count to the passed
-number. If no number is passed, the semaphore's count is set to one.
+=item ->down()
-=item down
+=item ->down(NUMBER)
-=item down NUMBER
+The C<down> method decreases the semaphore's count by the specified number
+(which must be an integer >= 1), or by one if no number is specified.
-The C<down> method decreases the semaphore's count by the specified number,
-or by one if no number has been specified. If the semaphore's count would drop
-below zero, this method will block until such time that the semaphore's
-count is equal to or larger than the amount you're C<down>ing the
-semaphore's count by.
+If the semaphore's count would drop below zero, this method will block
+until such time as the semaphore's count is greater than or equal to the
+amount you're C<down>ing the semaphore's count by.
This is the semaphore "P operation" (the name derives from the Dutch
word "pak", which means "capture" -- the semaphore operations were
named by the late Dijkstra, who was Dutch).
-=item up
+=item ->up()
-=item up NUMBER
+=item ->up(NUMBER)
-The C<up> method increases the semaphore's count by the number specified,
-or by one if no number has been specified. This will unblock any thread blocked
-trying to C<down> the semaphore if the C<up> raises the semaphore count
-above the amount that the C<down>s are trying to decrement it by.
+The C<up> method increases the semaphore's count by the number specified
+(which must be an integer >= 1), or by one if no number is specified.
+
+This will unblock any thread that is blocked trying to C<down> the
+semaphore if the C<up> raises the semaphore's count above the amount that
+the C<down> is trying to decrement it by. For example, if three threads
+are blocked trying to C<down> a semaphore by one, and another thread C<up>s
+the semaphore by two, then two of the blocked threads (which two is
+indeterminate) will become unblocked.
This is the semaphore "V operation" (the name derives from the Dutch
word "vrij", which means "release").
