semtool - A utility for tinkering with semaphores USAGE: semtool (c)reate <semcount> (l)ock <sem #> (u)nlock <sem #> (d)elete (m)ode <mode> It comes in some package available through the Cygwin's installer. I do not understand how to use it. >> I wrote an example that works on Jaunty on x86-64 but not on Cygwin: >> http://www.izecksohn.com/pedro/c/semaphores/semaphores.tar.gz > > Works for me.
