+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These functions implement counting semaphores as described by Dijkstra.
+A semaphore has a value which is atomically decremented by
+.Fn sema_p
+and atomically incremented by
+.Fn sema_v .
+The value must always be greater than or equal to zero.
+If
+.Fn sema_p
+is called and the value is zero, the calling thread is blocked until another
+thread performs a
+.Fn sema_v
 operation on the semaphore.
-.sp
-.LP
-Semaphores are initialized by calling \fBsema_init()\fR. The argument,
-\fBval\fR, gives the initial value for the semaphore. The semaphore storage is
-provided by the caller but more may be dynamically allocated, if necessary, by
-\fBsema_init()\fR. For this reason, \fBsema_destroy()\fR should be called
-before deallocating the storage containing the semaphore.
-.sp
-.LP
-The \fBsema_p_sig()\fR function decrements the semaphore, as does
-\fBsema_p()\fR. However, if the semaphore value is zero, \fBsema_p_sig()\fR
-will return without decrementing the value if a signal (that is, from
-\fBkill\fR(2)) is pending for the thread.
-.sp
-.LP
-The \fBsema_tryp()\fR function will decrement the semaphore value only if it is
-greater than zero, and will not block.

+.Sh CONTEXT
 These functions can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context, except
-for \fBsema_init()\fR and \fBsema_destroy()\fR, which can be called from user
-or kernel context only. None of these functions can be called from a high-level
-interrupt context. In most cases, \fBsema_v()\fR and \fBsema_p()\fR should not
-be called from any interrupt context.
-.sp
-.LP
-If \fBsema_p()\fR is used from interrupt context, lower-priority interrupts
-will not be serviced during the wait. This means that if the thread that will
-eventually perform the \fBsema_v()\fR becomes blocked on anything that requires
-the lower-priority interrupt, the system will hang.
-.sp
-.LP
-For example, the thread that will perform the \fBsema_v()\fR may need to first
-allocate memory. This memory allocation may require waiting for paging
-\fBI/O\fR to complete, which may require a lower-priority disk or network
-interrupt to be serviced. In general, situations like this are hard to predict,
-so it is advisable to avoid waiting on semaphores or condition variables in an
-interrupt context.

+which time many of the semaphore operations become no-ops.
