Use

The API documentation is here

import { Mutex } from '@toolbuilder/semaphore'

const mutex = new Mutex()
const release = await mutex.acquire()
release() // to release mutex

import { Mutex, Semaphore } from '@toolbuilder/semaphore'

const semaphore = new Semaphore(5) // max locks that can be acquired
await semaphore.acquire()
semaphore.release() // to release lock
