setNewDataSem

I assume the function setNewDataSem allows me to pass a handle to a semaphore that will get processed each time a data packet arrives.

I'd like to use this mechanism instead of polling to see if a new message has arrived. Is this semaphore given (semGive) or flushed (semFlush) each time?


Thanks
