This method waits for a semaphore token.
RiCOSResult RiCOSSemaphore_wait(
RiCOSSemaphore *const me, long timeout);
me
The RiCOSSemaphore object.
timeout
The number of ticks to lock on a semaphore before timing out. The possible values are < 0 (wait indefinitely); 0 (do not wait); and > 0 (the number of ticks to wait). For Solaris systems, a value of > 0 means to wait indefinitely.
The RiCOSResult object, as defined in the RiCOS*.h files
