what's the difference between signal and semaphore?


dear all~
I am just new here.I am very happy to see such a forum.

I am very puzzled by the difference between signal and semaphore.

What's the difference between signal() wait() and P V operation?

the linux kernel have implemented a good semaphore system,why we need the system V IPC semaphore?

Have you tried Googling either of those terms? What about looking on Wikipedia?
