DESCRIPTION
     The sem facility provides system calls used by the standard C library

     such functions as sem_init() and sem_wait().  It is available both as a
     kernel option for static inclusion and as a dynamic kernel module.

     sem_wait(3), config(8), kldload(8), kldunload(8)

HISTORY

     kernel module appeared in FreeBSD 5.0.
