It will * return zero (OK) if successful. Otherwise, -1 (ERROR) is returned and * the errno value is set appropriately. * * Assumptions: * This function may be called from an interrupt handler. * ****************************************************************************/ int sem_post(FAR sem_t *sem) { int ret; /* Make sure we were supplied with a valid semaphore. */ if (sem == NULL) { set_errno(EINVAL); return ERROR; } ret = nxsem_post(sem); if (ret < 0) { set_errno(-ret); ret = ERROR; } return ret; }
