9.3.2: Obtaining Semaphore IDs

When a semaphore is created, RTEMS generates a unique semaphore ID and assigns it to the created semaphore until it is deleted. The semaphore ID may be obtained by either of two methods. First, as the result of an invocation of the rtems_semaphore_create directive, the semaphore ID is stored in a user provided location. Second, the semaphore ID may be obtained later using the rtems_semaphore_ident directive. The semaphore ID is used by other semaphore manager directives to access this semaphore.
