/** \file sem.h

* \brief Semaphore API for restricting access to a resource
*
* A semaphore holds a number of available permits. `sem_acquire` methods will acquire a permit if available
* (reducing the available count by 1) or block if the number of available permits is 0.
* \ref sem_release() increases the number of available permits by one potentially unblocking a `sem_acquire` method.
*
* Note that \ref sem_release() may be called an arbitrary number of times, however the number of available
* permits is capped to the max_permit value specified during semaphore initialization.
*
* Although these semaphore related functions can be used from IRQ handlers, it is obviously preferable to only
* release semaphores from within an IRQ handler (i.e. avoid blocking)
