 *
 * <i>Macro</i> that implements a semaphore by using the existing queue mechanism.
 * The queue length is 1 as this is a binary semaphore.  The data size is 0
 * as we don't want to actually store any data - we just want to know if the
 * queue is empty or full.
 *
 * This type of semaphore can be used for pure synchronisation between tasks or
 * between an interrupt and a task.  The semaphore need not be given back once
 * obtained, so one task/interrupt can continuously 'give' the semaphore while
 * another continuously 'takes' the semaphore.  For this reason this type of
 * semaphore does not use a priority inheritance mechanism.  For an alternative
 * that does use priority inheritance see xSemaphoreCreateMutex().
 *
 * @param xSemaphore Handle to the created semaphore.  Should be of type SemaphoreHandle_t.

 *
 * 2) Resource management.
 *
 *    In this usage scenario the count value indicates the number of resources
 *    available.  To obtain control of a resource a task must first obtain a
