-
-DESCRIPTION:
-    This directive creates a semaphore which resides on the local node. The
-    created semaphore has the user-defined name specified in name and the
-    initial count specified in count.  For control and maintenance of the
-    semaphore, RTEMS allocates and initializes a SMCB.  The RTEMS-assigned
-    semaphore id is returned in id.  This semaphore id is used with other
-    semaphore related directives to access the semaphore.
-
-    Specifying PRIORITY in attribute_set causes tasks waiting for a semaphore
-    to be serviced according to task priority.  When FIFO is selected, tasks
-    are serviced in First In-First Out order.
-
-NOTES:
-    This directive may cause the calling task to be preempted due to an
-    obtain and release of the object allocator mutex.
-
-    The priority inheritance and priority ceiling algorithms are only supported
-    for local, binary semaphores that use the priority task wait queue blocking
-    discipline.
-
-    The following semaphore attribute constants are defined by RTEMS:
-
-    .. list-table::
-     :class: rtems-table
-
-     * - ``RTEMS_FIFO``
-       - tasks wait by FIFO (default)
-     * - ``RTEMS_PRIORITY``
-       - tasks wait by priority
-     * - ``RTEMS_BINARY_SEMAPHORE``
-       - restrict values to 0 and 1
-     * - ``RTEMS_COUNTING_SEMAPHORE``
-       - no restriction on values (default)
-     * - ``RTEMS_SIMPLE_BINARY_SEMAPHORE``
-       - restrict values to 0 and 1, block on nested access, allow deletion of locked semaphore.
-     * - ``RTEMS_NO_INHERIT_PRIORITY``
-       - do not use priority inheritance (default)
-     * - ``RTEMS_INHERIT_PRIORITY``
-       - use priority inheritance
-     * - ``RTEMS_NO_PRIORITY_CEILING``
-       - do not use priority ceiling (default)
-     * - ``RTEMS_PRIORITY_CEILING``
-       - use priority ceiling
-     * - ``RTEMS_NO_MULTIPROCESSOR_RESOURCE_SHARING``
-       - do not use Multiprocessor Resource Sharing Protocol (default)
-     * - ``RTEMS_MULTIPROCESSOR_RESOURCE_SHARING``
-       - use Multiprocessor Resource Sharing Protocol
-     * - ``RTEMS_LOCAL``
-       - local semaphore (default)
-     * - ``RTEMS_GLOBAL``
-       - global semaphore
-
-    Semaphores should not be made global unless remote tasks must interact with
-    the created semaphore.  This is to avoid the system overhead incurred by
-    the creation of a global semaphore.  When a global semaphore is created,
-    the semaphore's name and id must be transmitted to every node in the system
-    for insertion in the local copy of the global object table.
-
-    *Note*, some combinations of attributes are not valid.  See the earlier
-    discussion on this.
-
-    The total number of global objects, including semaphores, is limited by the
-    maximum_global_objects field in the Configuration Table.
-
-    It is not allowed to create an initially locked MrsP semaphore and the
-    ``RTEMS_INVALID_NUMBER`` status code will be returned in SMP configurations
-    in this case.  This prevents lock order reversal problems with the
-    allocator mutex.

+    );
+
+.. rubric:: PARAMETERS:
+
+``name``
+    This parameter is the object name of the semaphore.
+
+``count``
+    This parameter is the initial count of the semaphore.  If the semaphore is
+    a binary semaphore, then a count of 0 will make the calling task the owner
+    of the binary semaphore and a count of 1 will create a binary semaphore
+    without an owner.
+
+``attribute_set``
+    This parameter is the attribute set of the semaphore.
+
+``priority_ceiling``
+    This parameter is the priority ceiling if the semaphore is a binary
+    semaphore with the priority ceiling or MrsP locking protocol as defined by
+    the attribute set.
+
+``id``
+    This parameter is the pointer to an object identifier variable.  When the
+    directive call is successful, the identifier of the created semaphore will
+    be stored in this variable.
+
+.. rubric:: DESCRIPTION:
+
+This directive creates a semaphore which resides on the local node.  The
+semaphore has the user-defined object name specified in ``name`` and the
+initial count specified in ``count``.  The assigned object identifier is
+returned in ``id``.  This identifier is used to access the semaphore with other
+semaphore related directives.
+
+The **attribute set** specified in ``attribute_set`` is built through a
+*bitwise or* of the attribute constants described below.  Not all combinations
+of attributes are allowed.  Some attributes are mutually exclusive.  If
+mutually exclusive attributes are combined, the behaviour is undefined.
+Attributes not mentioned below are not evaluated by this directive and have no
+effect.  Default attributes can be selected by using the
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTES` constant.  The attribute set defines
+
+* the scope of the semaphore: :c:macro:`RTEMS_LOCAL` (default) or
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_GLOBAL`,
+
+* the task wait queue discipline used by the semaphore: :c:macro:`RTEMS_FIFO`
+  (default) or :c:macro:`RTEMS_PRIORITY`,
+
+* the class of the semaphore: :c:macro:`RTEMS_COUNTING_SEMAPHORE` (default),
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_BINARY_SEMAPHORE`, or
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_SIMPLE_BINARY_SEMAPHORE`, and
+
+* the locking protocol of a binary semaphore: no locking protocol (default),
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_INHERIT_PRIORITY`, :c:macro:`RTEMS_PRIORITY_CEILING`, or
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_MULTIPROCESSOR_RESOURCE_SHARING`.
+
+The semaphore has a local or global **scope** in a multiprocessing network
+(this attribute does not refer to SMP systems).  The scope is selected by the
+mutually exclusive :c:macro:`RTEMS_LOCAL` and :c:macro:`RTEMS_GLOBAL`
+attributes.
+
+* A **local scope** is the default and can be emphasized through the use of the
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_LOCAL` attribute.  A local semaphore can be only used by the
+  node which created it.
+
+* A **global scope** is established if the :c:macro:`RTEMS_GLOBAL` attribute is
+  set.  Setting the global attribute in a single node system has no effect.
+
+The **task wait queue discipline** is selected by the mutually exclusive
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_FIFO` and :c:macro:`RTEMS_PRIORITY` attributes.
+
+* The **FIFO discipline** is the default and can be emphasized through use of
+  the :c:macro:`RTEMS_FIFO` attribute.
+
+* The **priority discipline** is selected by the :c:macro:`RTEMS_PRIORITY`
+  attribute.  The locking protocols require the priority discipline.
+
+The **semaphore class** is selected by the mutually exclusive
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_COUNTING_SEMAPHORE`, :c:macro:`RTEMS_BINARY_SEMAPHORE`, and
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_SIMPLE_BINARY_SEMAPHORE` attributes.
+
+* The **counting semaphore class** is the default and can be emphasized through
+  use of the :c:macro:`RTEMS_COUNTING_SEMAPHORE` attribute.
+
+* The **binary semaphore class** is selected by the
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_BINARY_SEMAPHORE` attribute.  Binary semaphores are mutual
+  exclusion (mutex) synchronization primitives which may have an owner.  The
+  count of a binary semaphore is restricted to 0 and 1 values.
+
+* The **simple binary semaphore class** is selected by the
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_SIMPLE_BINARY_SEMAPHORE` attribute.  Simple binary semaphores
+  have no owner.  They may be used for task and interrupt synchronization.  The
+  count of a simple binary semaphore is restricted to 0 and 1 values.
+
+Binary semaphores may use a **locking protocol**.  If a locking protocol is
+selected, then the scope shall be local and the priority task wait queue
+discipline shall be selected.  The locking protocol is selected by the mutually
+exclusive :c:macro:`RTEMS_INHERIT_PRIORITY`, :c:macro:`RTEMS_PRIORITY_CEILING`,
+and :c:macro:`RTEMS_MULTIPROCESSOR_RESOURCE_SHARING` attributes.
+
+* The default is **no locking protocol**.  This can be emphasized through use
+  of the :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_INHERIT_PRIORITY`,
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_MULTIPROCESSOR_RESOURCE_SHARING`, and
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_PRIORITY_CEILING` attributes.
+
+* The **priority inheritance locking protocol** is selected by the
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_INHERIT_PRIORITY` attribute.
+
+* The **priority ceiling locking protocol** is selected by the
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_PRIORITY_CEILING` attribute.  For this locking protocol a
+  priority ceiling shall be specified in ``priority_ceiling``.
+
+* The **MrsP locking protocol** is selected by the
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_MULTIPROCESSOR_RESOURCE_SHARING` attribute in SMP
+  configurations, otherwise this attribute selects the **priority ceiling
+  locking protocol**.  For these locking protocols a priority ceiling shall be
+  specified in ``priority_ceiling``.  This priority is used to set the priority
+  ceiling for all schedulers.  This can be changed later with the
+  :ref:`InterfaceRtemsSemaphoreSetPriority` directive using the returned object
+  identifier.
+

+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_TOO_MANY`
+    In multiprocessing configurations, there was no inactive global object
+    available to create a global semaphore.  The number of global objects

+    option.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_PRIORITY`
+    The ``priority_ceiling`` parameter was invalid.
+
+.. rubric:: NOTES:
+
+For control and maintenance of the semaphore, RTEMS allocates a :term:`SMCB`
+from the local SMCB free pool and initializes it.
+
+The SMCB for a global semaphore is allocated on the local node.  Semaphores
+should not be made global unless remote tasks must interact with the semaphore.
+This is to avoid the system overhead incurred by the creation of a global
+semaphore.  When a global semaphore is created, the semaphore's name and
+identifier must be transmitted to every node in the system for insertion in the
+local copy of the global object table.
+
+.. rubric:: CONSTRAINTS:
+
+The following constraints apply to this directive:
+
+* The directive may be called from within device driver initialization context.
+
+* The directive may be called from within task context.
+
+* The directive may obtain and release the object allocator mutex.  This may
+  cause the calling task to be preempted.
+
+* When the directive operates on a global object, the directive sends a message
+  to remote nodes.  This may preempt the calling task.
+
+* When a semaphore using the MrsP locking protocol is created, the initial
+  count shall be exactly one.
+
+* The number of semaphores available to the application is configured through
+  the :ref:`CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_SEMAPHORES` application configuration option.
+
+* Where the object class corresponding to the directive is configured to use
+  unlimited objects, the directive may allocate memory from the RTEMS
+  Workspace.
+
+* The number of global objects available to the application is configured
+  through the :ref:`CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_GLOBAL_OBJECTS` application
+  configuration option.

-
-DESCRIPTION:
-    This directive acquires the semaphore specified by id.  The ``RTEMS_WAIT``
-    and ``RTEMS_NO_WAIT`` components of the options parameter indicate whether
-    the calling task wants to wait for the semaphore to become available or
-    return immediately if the semaphore is not currently available.  With
-    either ``RTEMS_WAIT`` or ``RTEMS_NO_WAIT``, if the current semaphore count
-    is positive, then it is decremented by one and the semaphore is
-    successfully acquired by returning immediately with a successful return
-    code.
-
-    If the calling task chooses to return immediately and the current semaphore
-    count is zero or negative, then a status code is returned indicating that
-    the semaphore is not available. If the calling task chooses to wait for a
-    semaphore and the current semaphore count is zero or negative, then it is
-    decremented by one and the calling task is placed on the semaphore's wait
-    queue and blocked.  If the semaphore was created with the
-    ``RTEMS_PRIORITY`` attribute, then the calling task is inserted into the
-    queue according to its priority.  However, if the semaphore was created
-    with the ``RTEMS_FIFO`` attribute, then the calling task is placed at the
-    rear of the wait queue.  If the binary semaphore was created with the
-    ``RTEMS_INHERIT_PRIORITY`` attribute, then the priority of the task
-    currently holding the binary semaphore is guaranteed to be greater than or
-    equal to that of the blocking task.  If the binary semaphore was created
-    with the ``RTEMS_PRIORITY_CEILING`` attribute, a task successfully obtains
-    the semaphore, and the priority of that task is greater than the ceiling
-    priority for this semaphore, then the priority of the task obtaining the
-    semaphore is elevated to that of the ceiling.
-
-    The timeout parameter specifies the maximum interval the calling task is
-    willing to be blocked waiting for the semaphore.  If it is set to
-    ``RTEMS_NO_TIMEOUT``, then the calling task will wait forever.  If the
-    semaphore is available or the ``RTEMS_NO_WAIT`` option component is set,
-    then timeout is ignored.
-
-    In case a semaphore is not available, then ``RTEMS_UNSATISFIED`` will be
-    returned.  This happens immediately in case ``RTEMS_NO_WAIT`` is specified,
-    or as a result of another task invoking the ``rtems_semaphore_flush``
-    directive in case ``RTEMS_WAIT`` is specified.
-
-    Deadlock situations are detected for MrsP semaphores and the
-    ``RTEMS_UNSATISFIED`` status code will be returned in SMP configurations in
-    this case.
-
-NOTES:
-    The following semaphore acquisition option constants are defined by RTEMS:
-
-    .. list-table::
-     :class: rtems-table
-
-     * - ``RTEMS_WAIT``
-       - task will wait for semaphore (default)
-     * - ``RTEMS_NO_WAIT``
-       - task should not wait
-
-    Attempting to obtain a global semaphore which does not reside on the local
-    node will generate a request to the remote node to access the semaphore.
-    If the semaphore is not available and ``RTEMS_NO_WAIT`` was not specified,
-    then the task must be blocked until the semaphore is released.  A proxy is
-    allocated on the remote node to represent the task until the semaphore is
-    released.
-
-    A clock tick is required to support the timeout functionality of this
-    directive.
-
-    It is not allowed to obtain a MrsP semaphore more than once by one task at
-    a time (nested access) and the ``RTEMS_UNSATISFIED`` status code will be
-    returned in SMP configurations in this case.

+    This parameter is the option set.
+
+``timeout``
+    This parameter is the timeout in clock ticks if the :c:macro:`RTEMS_WAIT`
+    option is set.  Use :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_TIMEOUT` to wait potentially
+    forever.
+
+.. rubric:: DESCRIPTION:
+
+This directive obtains the semaphore specified by ``id``.
+
+The **option set** specified in ``option_set`` is built through a *bitwise or*
+of the option constants described below.  Not all combinations of options are
+allowed.  Some options are mutually exclusive.  If mutually exclusive options
+are combined, the behaviour is undefined.  Options not mentioned below are not
+evaluated by this directive and have no effect. Default options can be selected
+by using the :c:macro:`RTEMS_DEFAULT_OPTIONS` constant.
+
+The calling task can **wait** or **try to obtain** the semaphore according to
+the mutually exclusive :c:macro:`RTEMS_WAIT` and :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_WAIT`
+options.
+
+* **Waiting to obtain** the semaphore is the default and can be emphasized
+  through the use of the :c:macro:`RTEMS_WAIT` option.  The ``timeout``
+  parameter defines how long the calling task is willing to wait.  Use
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_TIMEOUT` to wait potentially forever, otherwise set a
+  timeout interval in clock ticks.
+
+* **Trying to obtain** the semaphore is selected by the
+  :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_WAIT` option.  If this option is defined, then the
+  ``timeout`` parameter is ignored.  When the semaphore cannot be immediately
+  obtained, then the :c:macro:`RTEMS_UNSATISFIED` status is returned.
+
+With either :c:macro:`RTEMS_WAIT` or :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_WAIT` if the current
+semaphore count is positive, then it is decremented by one and the semaphore is
+successfully obtained by returning immediately with the
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL` status code.
+
+If the calling task chooses to return immediately and the current semaphore
+count is zero, then the :c:macro:`RTEMS_UNSATISFIED` status code is returned
+indicating that the semaphore is not available.
+
+If the calling task chooses to wait for a semaphore and the current semaphore
+count is zero, then the calling task is placed on the semaphore's wait queue
+and blocked.  If a local, binary semaphore was created with the
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INHERIT_PRIORITY` attribute, then the priority of the task
+currently holding the binary semaphore will inherit the current priority set of
+the blocking task.  The priority inheritance is carried out recursively.  This
+means, that if the task currently holding the binary semaphore is blocked on
+another local, binary semaphore using the priority inheritance locking
+protocol, then the owner of this semaphore will inherit the current priority
+sets of both tasks, and so on.  A task has a current priority for each
+scheduler.
+
+.. rubric:: RETURN VALUES:
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL`
+    The requested operation was successful.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_ID`

+    The semaphore could not be obtained immediately.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INCORRECT_STATE`
+    Acquiring of the local, binary semaphore by the calling task would have
+    cased a deadlock.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INCORRECT_STATE`
+    The calling task attempted to recursively obtain a local, binary semaphore
+    using the MrsP locking protocol.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_UNSATISFIED`
+    The semaphore was flushed while the calling task was waiting to obtain the
+    semaphore.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_TIMEOUT`
+    The timeout happened while the calling task was waiting to obtain the
+    semaphore.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_OBJECT_WAS_DELETED`
+    The semaphore was deleted while the calling task was waiting to obtain the
+    semaphore.
+
+.. rubric:: NOTES:
+
+If a local, binary semaphore was created with the
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_PRIORITY_CEILING` or
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_MULTIPROCESSOR_RESOURCE_SHARING` attribute, a task successfully
+obtains the semaphore, and the priority of that task is greater than the
+ceiling priority for this semaphore, then the priority of the task acquiring
+the semaphore is elevated to that of the ceiling.
+
+Deadlock situations are detected for local, binary semaphores.  If a deadlock
+is detected, then the directive immediately returns the
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INCORRECT_STATE` status code.
+
+It is not allowed to recursively obtain (nested access) a local, binary
+semaphore using the MrsP locking protocol and any attempt to do this will just

+happen in SMP configurations.
+
+If the semaphore was created with the :c:macro:`RTEMS_PRIORITY` attribute, then

+However, if the semaphore was created with the :c:macro:`RTEMS_FIFO` attribute,

-    than the running task.
-
-NOTES:
-    The calling task may be preempted if it causes a higher priority task to be

-
-    Releasing a global semaphore which does not reside on the local node will

-
-    If the task to be unblocked resides on a different node from the semaphore,

-
-    The outermost release of a local, binary, priority inheritance or priority
-    ceiling semaphore may result in the calling task having its priority

-
-    The interpretation of the priority value depends on the protocol of the
-    semaphore object.
-
-    - The Multiprocessor Resource Sharing Protocol needs a ceiling priority per
-      scheduler instance.  This operation can be used to specify these priority
-      values.
-
-    - For the Priority Ceiling Protocol the ceiling priority is used with this
-      operation.
-
-    - For other protocols this operation is not defined.

+rtems_semaphore_set_priority()
+------------------------------
+
+Sets the priority by scheduler for the semaphore.
+
+.. rubric:: CALLING SEQUENCE:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    rtems_status_code rtems_semaphore_set_priority(
+      rtems_id             semaphore_id,
+      rtems_id             scheduler_id,
+      rtems_task_priority  new_priority,
+      rtems_task_priority *old_priority
+    );
+
+.. rubric:: PARAMETERS:
+
+``semaphore_id``
+    This parameter is the semaphore identifier.
+
+``scheduler_id``
+    This parameter is the identifier of the scheduler corresponding to the new
+    priority.
+
+``new_priority``
+    This parameter is the new priority corresponding to the specified
+    scheduler.
+
+``old_priority``
+    This parameter is the pointer to a task priority variable.  When the
+    directive call is successful, the old priority of the semaphore
+    corresponding to the specified scheduler will be stored in this variable.
+
+.. rubric:: DESCRIPTION:
+
+This directive sets the priority of the semaphore specified by
+``semaphore_id``.  The priority corresponds to the scheduler specified by
+``scheduler_id``.
+
+The special priority value :c:macro:`RTEMS_CURRENT_PRIORITY` can be used to get
+the current priority without changing it.
+
+The availability and use of a priority depends on the class and locking
+protocol of the semaphore:
+
+* For local, binary semaphores using the MrsP locking protocol, the ceiling
+  priority for each scheduler can be set by this directive.
+
+* For local, binary semaphores using the priority ceiling protocol, the ceiling
+  priority can be set by this directive.
+
+* For other semaphore classes and locking protocols, setting a priority is
+  undefined behaviour.
+
+.. rubric:: RETURN VALUES:
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL`
+    The requested operation was successful.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_ADDRESS`
+    The ``old_priority`` parameter was `NULL
+    <https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/types/NULL>`_.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_ID`
+    There was no scheduler associated with the identifier specified by
+    ``scheduler_id``.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_ID`
+    There was no semaphore associated with the identifier specified by
+    ``semaphore_id``.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_ILLEGAL_ON_REMOTE_OBJECT`
+    The semaphore resided on a remote node.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_PRIORITY`
+    The ``new_priority`` parameter was invalid.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_NOT_DEFINED`
+    Setting a priority for the class or locking protocol of the semaphore is
+    undefined behaviour.
