<para>
<function>sem_acquire</function> blocks (if necessary) until the
semaphore can be acquired. A process attempting to acquire a
semaphore which it has already acquired will block forever
if acquiring the semaphore would cause its maximum number
of semaphore to be exceeded.
<parameter>sem_identifier</parameter> is a semaphore ressource,
obtained from <function>sem_get</function>.

&return.success;
</para>
<para>
After processing a request, any semaphores acquired by the
process but not explicitly released will be released automatically
and a warning will be generated.
