int
     sem_post(sem_t *sem);

DESCRIPTION

     The the semaphore referenced by sem is unlocked, the value of the sema-
     phore is incremented, and all threads which are waiting on the semaphore
     are awakened.

     sem_post() is reentrant with respect to signals and may be called from
     within a signal hanlder.

     If successful, sem_post() will return 0.  Otherwise, -1 is returned and
     errno is set.

ERRORS

     sem_post() succeeds unless:

     [EINVAL]           sem is not a valid semaphore descriptor.
