USHORT DosFSRamSemClear(pdosfsrs)
PDOSFSRSEM pdosfsrs;    /* pointer to structure for semaphore */
 
The DosFSRamSemClear function releases ownership of a fast-safe RAM
semaphore.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
pdosfsrs   Points to the DOSFSRSEM structure containing the information
           about a fast-safe RAM semaphore.
 
Return Value
 
The return value is zero if the function is successful. Otherwise, it is an
error value.
 
Comments
 
The DosFSRamSemClear function is used to release a semaphore obtained by
using the DosFSRamSemRequest function. If the semaphore-use count for the
current thread is zero, the semaphore is cleared and any threads that are
blocked on the semaphore are restarted.
 
DosFSRamSemClear cannot be issued against a fast-safe RAM semaphore that is
owned by another thread.
