      • acquire

        public void acquire()
                     throws InterruptedException
        Description copied from interface: Semaphore
        Acquires a permit from this semaphore, blocking until one is available, or the thread is interrupted.

        Acquires a permit, if one is available and returns immediately, reducing the number of available permits by one.

        If no permit is available then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until one of two things happens:

        • Some other thread invokes the Semaphore.release() method for this semaphore and the current thread is next to be assigned a permit; or
        • Some other thread interrupts the current thread.

        If the current thread:

        • has its interrupted status set on entry to this method; or
        • is interrupted while waiting for a permit,
        then InterruptedException is thrown and the current thread's interrupted status is cleared.
        Specified by:
        acquire in interface Semaphore
        Throws:
        InterruptedException - if the current thread is interrupted
      • acquireUninterruptibly

        public void acquireUninterruptibly()
        Description copied from interface: Semaphore
        Acquires a permit from this semaphore, blocking until one is available.

        Acquires a permit, if one is available and returns immediately, reducing the number of available permits by one.

        If no permit is available then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until some other thread invokes the Semaphore.release() method for this semaphore and the current thread is next to be assigned a permit.

        If the current thread is interrupted while waiting for a permit then it will continue to wait, but the time at which the thread is assigned a permit may change compared to the time it would have received the permit had no interruption occurred. When the thread does return from this method its interrupt status will be set.

        Specified by:
        acquireUninterruptibly in interface Semaphore
      • tryAcquire

        public boolean tryAcquire()
        Description copied from interface: Semaphore
        Acquires a permit from this semaphore, only if one is available at the time of invocation.

        Acquires a permit, if one is available and returns immediately, with the value true, reducing the number of available permits by one.

        If no permit is available then this method will return immediately with the value false.

        Even when this semaphore has been set to use a fair ordering policy, a call to tryAcquire() will immediately acquire a permit if one is available, whether or not other threads are currently waiting. This "barging" behavior can be useful in certain circumstances, even though it breaks fairness. If you want to honor the fairness setting, then use tryAcquire(0, TimeUnit.SECONDS) which is almost equivalent (it also detects interruption).

        Specified by:
        tryAcquire in interface Semaphore
        Returns:
        true if a permit was acquired and false otherwise
      • tryAcquire

        public boolean tryAcquire​(long timeout,
                                  TimeUnit unit)
                           throws InterruptedException
        Description copied from interface: Semaphore
        Acquires a permit from this semaphore, if one becomes available within the given waiting time and the current thread has not been interrupted.

        Acquires a permit, if one is available and returns immediately, with the value true, reducing the number of available permits by one.

        If no permit is available then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until one of three things happens:

        • Some other thread invokes the Semaphore.release() method for this semaphore and the current thread is next to be assigned a permit; or
        • Some other thread interrupts the current thread; or
        • The specified waiting time elapses.

        If a permit is acquired then the value true is returned.

        If the current thread:

        • has its interrupted status set on entry to this method; or
        • is interrupted while waiting to acquire a permit,
        then InterruptedException is thrown and the current thread's interrupted status is cleared.

        If the specified waiting time elapses then the value false is returned. If the time is less than or equal to zero, the method will not wait at all.

        Specified by:
        tryAcquire in interface Semaphore
        Parameters:
        timeout - the maximum time to wait for a permit
        unit - the time unit of the timeout argument
        Returns:
        true if a permit was acquired and false if the if the waiting time elapsed before a permit was acquired
        Throws:
        InterruptedException - if the current thread is interrupted
      • release

        public void release()
        Description copied from interface: Semaphore
        Releases a permit, returning it to the semaphore.

        Releases a permit, increasing the number of available permits by one. If any threads are trying to acquire a permit, then one is selected and given the permit that was just released. That thread is (re)enabled for thread scheduling purposes.

        There is no requirement that a thread that releases a permit must have acquired that permit by calling Semaphore.acquire(). Correct usage of a semaphore is established by programming convention in the application.

      • acquire

        public void acquire​(int permits)
                     throws InterruptedException
        Description copied from interface: Semaphore
        Acquires the given number of permits from this semaphore, blocking until all are available, or the thread is interrupted.

        Acquires the given number of permits, if they are available, and returns immediately, reducing the number of available permits by the given amount. This method has the same effect as the loop for (int i = 0; i < permits; ++i) acquire(); except that it atomically acquires the permits all at once:

        If insufficient permits are available then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until one of two things happens:

        • Some other thread invokes one of the release methods for this semaphore and the current thread is next to be assigned permits and the number of available permits satisfies this request; or
        • Some other thread interrupts the current thread.

        If the current thread:

        • has its interrupted status set on entry to this method; or
        • is interrupted while waiting for a permit,
        then InterruptedException is thrown and the current thread's interrupted status is cleared. Any permits that were to be assigned to this thread are instead assigned to other threads trying to acquire permits, as if permits had been made available by a call to Semaphore.release().
        Specified by:
        acquire in interface Semaphore
        Parameters:
        permits - the number of permits to acquire
        Throws:
        InterruptedException - if the current thread is interrupted
      • acquireUninterruptibly

        public void acquireUninterruptibly​(int permits)
        Description copied from interface: Semaphore
        Acquires the given number of permits from this semaphore, blocking until all are available.

        Acquires the given number of permits, if they are available, and returns immediately, reducing the number of available permits by the given amount. This method has the same effect as the loop for (int i = 0; i < permits; ++i) acquireUninterruptibly(); except that it atomically acquires the permits all at once:

        If insufficient permits are available then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until some other thread invokes one of the release methods for this semaphore and the current thread is next to be assigned permits and the number of available permits satisfies this request.

        If the current thread is interrupted while waiting for permits then it will continue to wait and its position in the queue is not affected. When the thread does return from this method its interrupt status will be set.

        Specified by:
        acquireUninterruptibly in interface Semaphore
        Parameters:
        permits - the number of permits to acquire
      • tryAcquire

        public boolean tryAcquire​(int permits)
        Description copied from interface: Semaphore
        Acquires the given number of permits from this semaphore, only if all are available at the time of invocation.

        Acquires the given number of permits, if they are available, and returns immediately, with the value true, reducing the number of available permits by the given amount.

        If insufficient permits are available then this method will return immediately with the value false and the number of available permits is unchanged.

        Even when this semaphore has been set to use a fair ordering policy, a call to tryAcquire will immediately acquire a permit if one is available, whether or not other threads are currently waiting. This "barging" behavior can be useful in certain circumstances, even though it breaks fairness. If you want to honor the fairness setting, then use tryAcquire(permits, 0, TimeUnit.SECONDS) which is almost equivalent (it also detects interruption).

        Specified by:
        tryAcquire in interface Semaphore
        Parameters:
        permits - the number of permits to acquire
        Returns:
        true if the permits were acquired and false otherwise
      • tryAcquire

        public boolean tryAcquire​(int permits,

                           throws InterruptedException
        Description copied from interface: Semaphore
        Acquires the given number of permits from this semaphore, if all become available within the given waiting time and the current thread has not been interrupted.

        Acquires the given number of permits, if they are available and returns immediately, with the value true, reducing the number of available permits by the given amount.

        If insufficient permits are available then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until one of three things happens:

        • Some other thread invokes one of the release methods for this semaphore and the current thread is next to be assigned permits and the number of available permits satisfies this request; or
        • Some other thread interrupts the current thread; or
        • The specified waiting time elapses.

        If the permits are acquired then the value true is returned.

        If the current thread:

        • has its interrupted status set on entry to this method; or
        • is interrupted while waiting to acquire the permits,
        then InterruptedException is thrown and the current thread's interrupted status is cleared. Any permits that were to be assigned to this thread, are instead assigned to other threads trying to acquire permits, as if the permits had been made available by a call to Semaphore.release().

        If the specified waiting time elapses then the value false is returned. If the time is less than or equal to zero, the method will not wait at all.

        Parameters:
        permits - the number of permits to acquire
        timeout - the maximum time to wait for the permits
        unit - the time unit of the timeout argument
        Returns:
        true if all permits were acquired and false if if the waiting time elapsed before all permits were acquired
        Throws:
        InterruptedException - if the current thread is interrupted
      • release

        public void release​(int permits)
        Description copied from interface: Semaphore
        Releases the given number of permits, returning them to the semaphore.

        Releases the given number of permits, increasing the number of available permits by that amount. If any threads are trying to acquire permits, then one thread is selected and given the permits that were just released. If the number of available permits satisfies that thread's request then that thread is (re)enabled for thread scheduling purposes; otherwise the thread will wait until sufficient permits are available. If there are still permits available after this thread's request has been satisfied, then those permits are assigned in turn to other threads trying to acquire permits.

        There is no requirement that a thread that releases a permit must have acquired that permit by calling acquire. Correct usage of a semaphore is established by programming convention in the application.

        Specified by:
        release in interface Semaphore
