+.SH "NAME"
+SDL_CreateSemaphore\- Creates a new semaphore and assigns an initial value to it\&.
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.PP
+\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
+#include "SDL_thread\&.h"
+.sp
+\fBSDL_sem *\fBSDL_CreateSemaphore\fP\fR(\fBUint32 initial_value\fR);
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBSDL_CreateSemaphore()\fP creates a new semaphore and initializes it with the value \fBinitial_value\fR\&. Each locking operation on the semaphore by \fISDL_SemWait\fR, \fISDL_SemTryWait\fR or \fISDL_SemWaitTimeout\fR will atomically decrement the semaphore value\&. The locking operation will be blocked if the semaphore value is not positive (greater than zero)\&. Each unlock operation by \fISDL_SemPost\fR will atomically increment the semaphore value\&.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.PP
+Returns a pointer to an initialized semaphore or \fBNULL\fR if there was an error\&.
