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.
