System.Semaphore.Internal.Version

A semaphore name: a protocol version and an unversioned name string.

The identifier string of a semaphore: a serialised SemaphoreName used for inter-process communication (e.g. as a command line argument).

The specific format of this name string depends on the protocol version:

• For version 1, this is the unadorned semaphore name.

• For version N >= 2, the semaphore name is prefixed with v<N>-.

The semaphore protocol version currently being used.

The version tracks the IPC mechanism, not the library version:

• POSIX: 2 (domain sockets, replacing v1 system semaphores).

• Windows: 1 (Win32 named semaphores, unchanged from v1).

• Unsupported platforms: 0 (no compatible IPC backend).

Errors that can occur when creating or opening a semaphore.

The protocol version used on this host platform with this version of semaphore-compat.

See SemaphoreProtocolVersion.

The serialised identifier of a SemaphoreName for inter-process communication.

See SemaphoreIdentifier for more information.

Parse a SemaphoreIdentifier into a SemaphoreName.

Returns Nothing for unversioned strings (which should be treated as v1 by the caller's compatibility logic).

The socket file path for a semaphore.

Convert an Int to a base-62 string (digits 0–9, a–z, A–Z).
