<p>The <strong>sem_post_np()</strong> function posts to a semaphore,

|
|
incrementing its value by the increment specified in the <em>options</em>
|

|
parameter. If the resulting value is greater than zero and if there are threads
|
||
|
|
waiting on the semaphore, the waiting threads decrement the semaphore and
|
||
|
|
continue running.</p>

<p>If <strong>sem_post_np()</strong> is not successful, <em>errno</em>
