What is the difference between mutex and semaphore?

Answer Posted / swetcha

The only real difference between a Semaphore and a Mutex is
that a Semaphore can have a count > 1. While a mutex will
only let one owner attempt access, a Semaphore can be
assigned a number and allow "x" number of threads access.
