Parameters

initialCount  Int32

The initial number of requests for the semaphore that can be granted concurrently.

maximumCount  Int32

The maximum number of requests for the semaphore that can be granted concurrently.

name  String

The unique name identifying the semaphore. This name is case-sensitive. Use a backslash (\\) to specify a namespace, but avoid it elsewhere in the name. On Unix-based systems, the name should conform to valid file naming conventions, excluding slashes except for an optional namespace backslash. The name length is limited to 250 characters after any optional namespace.

createdNew  Boolean

When method returns, contains true if the specified named system semaphore was created; otherwise, false if the semaphore already existed.
