 * Function: sem_open
 *
 * Description:
 *   This function establishes a connection between named
 *   semaphores and a task.  Following a call to sem_open()
 *   with the semaphore name, the task may reference the
 *   semaphore associated with name using the address
 *   returned by this call.  The semaphore may be used in
 *   subsequent calls to sem_wait(), sem_trywait(), and
 *   sem_post().  The semaphore remains usable until the
 *   semaphore is closed by a successful call to sem_close().
 *
 *   If a task makes multiple calls to sem_open() with the
 *   same name, then the same semaphore address is returned
 *   (provided there have been no calls to sem_unlink()).
 *
 * Parameters:
 *   name  - Semaphore name
 *   oflag - Semaphore creation options.  This may either
 *     or both of the following bit settings.
 *     oflag = 0:  Connect to the semaphore only if it
 *        already exists.
 *     oflag = O_CREAT:  Connect to the semaphore if it
 *        exists, otherwise create the semaphore.
 *     oflag = O_CREAT|O_EXCL:  Create a new semaphore
 *        unless one of this name already exists.
 *   Optional parameters.  When the O_CREAT flag is specified,
 *     two optional parameters are expected:
 *     1. mode_t mode (ignored), and
 *     2. unsigned int value.  This initial value of the semaphore.
 *        valid initial values of the semaphore must be less than
 *         or equal to SEM_MAX_VALUE.
 *
 * Return Value:
 *   A pointer to sem_t or -1 (ERROR) if unsuccessful.
 *
 * Assumptions:
