<para>
<function>sem_acquire</function> by default 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.
</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.
