* @details Binary semaphores related APIs and services.

* <h2>Operation mode</h2>
* Binary semaphores are implemented as a set of macros that use the
* existing counting semaphores primitives. The difference between
* counting and binary semaphores is that the counter of binary
* semaphores is not allowed to grow above the value 1. Repeated
* signal operation are ignored. A binary semaphore can thus have
* only two defined states:

* difference between counting and binary semaphores is that the
* counter of binary semaphores is not allowed to grow above the
* value 1. Repeated signal operation are ignored. A binary
* semaphore can thus have only two defined states:
* - <b>Taken</b>, when its counter has a value of zero or lower
* than zero. A negative number represent the number of threads
* queued on the binary semaphore.
* - <b>Not taken</b>, when its counter has a value of one.

* Binary semaphores are different from mutexes because there is no
* the concept of ownership, a binary semaphore can be taken by a
* concept of ownership, a binary semaphore can be taken by a
* thread and signaled by another thread or an interrupt handler,
* mutexes can only be taken and released by the same thread. Another
* difference is that binary semaphores, unlike mutexes, do not
* implement the priority inheritance protocol.<br>
