.SH "NAME"
SDL_SemWait\- Lock a semaphore and suspend the thread if the semaphore value is zero\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
#include "SDL_thread\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_SemWait\fP\fR(\fBSDL_sem *sem\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_SemWait()\fP suspends the calling thread until either the semaphore pointed to by \fBsem\fR has a positive value, the call is interrupted by a signal or error\&. If the call is successful it will atomically decrement the semaphore value\&.
.PP
After \fBSDL_SemWait()\fP is successful, the semaphore can be released and its count atomically incremented by a successful call to \fISDL_SemPost\fR\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns \fB0\fR if successful or \fB-1\fR if there was an error (leaving the semaphore unchanged)\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"

\f(CWif (SDL_SemWait(my_sem) == -1) {
