When a step issues this command, the system checks whether a semaphore
with the stated name exists.
- If no such semaphore exists, the system creates one and assigns it to
the step's job. Then execution continues with the next step.
- If some other job has already claimed this semaphore name, the job hangs
on the .semget step until the other project releases the semaphore.
See
Semaphores for
more information on using this command.
