A semiphore is a means of protecting a resource/data shared between threads. It is a token based mechanism for controlling when a thread can have access to the resource/data.
Usually a semiphore handle will be able to be received from the system by name/id.

See Also Mutex. which is a simplification of the semiphore concept.
