Seems likely - possibly because of the bits that are now OS-independent - may be others.
If you happen to review the actual documentation on the binary semaphore interface, I found the wording for my specific use case to be non-intuitive - a simple 'wait on flag'. Having read 'the book', it's clear that the intuitive signal/wait on semaphore is what is meant, but the 'taken/not taken' concept didn't sit well with me (especially as 'not taken' is a semaphore value of 1!)

Re: Binary Semaphore documentation
Hi,
I uploaded new documents, changing terminology would take longer, I decided to use different terms because counter and binary semaphores have different use cases.
