+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <semaphore.h>
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.IR <semaphore.h>
+header shall define the
+.BR sem_t
+type, used in performing semaphore operations. The semaphore may be
+implemented using a file descriptor, in which case applications are
+able to open up at least a total of
+{OPEN_MAX}
+files and semaphores.
+.P
+The
+.IR <semaphore.h>
+header shall define the symbolic constant SEM_FAILED which shall
+have type
+.BR "sem_t *" .
+.P
+The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined
+as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
