Description Janakiram 2012-02-17 20:12:33 UTC
At line# 121, the word "mutex" was used by mistake.

The correct description should be as below.

Returns 0 if the semaphore has been acquired successfully or 1 if it it cannot be acquired.

It's not clear to me: what is this report referring to? A comment in the code? A document?
