+.SH "NAME"
+SDL_SemWait \- Lock a semaphore and suspend the thread if the semaphore value is zero\&.
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.PP
+\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
+#include "SDL_thread\&.h"
+.sp
+\fBint \fBSDL_SemWait\fP\fR(\fBSDL_sem *sem\fR);
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBSDL_SemWait()\fP suspends the calling thread until either the semaphore pointed to by \fBsem\fR has a positive value, the call is interrupted by a signal or error\&. If the call is successful it will atomically decrement the semaphore value\&.
+.PP
+After \fBSDL_SemWait()\fP is successful, the semaphore can be released and its count atomically incremented by a successful call to \fISDL_SemPost\fR\&.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.PP
+Returns \fB0\fR if successful or \fB-1\fR if there was an error (leaving the semaphore unchanged)\&.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
