/* SYNOPSIS */
__AROS_LHA(struct SignalSemaphore *, sigSem, A0),
/* LOCATION */
struct ExecBase *, SysBase, 120, Exec)
/* FUNCTION
Tries to get a shared lock on a signal semaphore. If the lock cannot
be obtained false is returned. There may be more than one shared lock
at a time but an exclusive lock prevents all other locks. The lock
must be released with ReleaseSemaphore().
INPUTS

RESULT
True if the semaphore could be obtained, false otherwise.
