FbxSemaphore Class
Reference
#include <fbxsync.h>
Mutually excluding thread waiting mechanism with a counter.
Semaphore are generally used in situations when the current thread needs to wait for other threads before proceeding to the next step. In other words, that thread waits a number of signals from other threads. This is the best mechanism to use to synchronize threads since it doesn't require an heavy critical section.
