# General Quantity Semaphores

data QSemN

A `QSemN` is a quantity semaphore, in which the available "quantity" may be signalled or waited for in arbitrary amounts.

Instances

Eq QSemN |
Typeable QSemN |

newQSemN :: Int -> IO QSemN

Build a new `QSemN` with a supplied initial quantity. The initial quantity must be at least 0.

waitQSemN :: QSemN -> Int -> IO ()

Wait for the specified quantity to become available

signalQSemN :: QSemN -> Int -> IO ()

Signal that a given quantity is now available from the `QSemN`.
