Note that the fact that kernel does not support 'POSIX semaphores'
objects, does not make impossible to get some information about existing
named semaphores for the debugging purposes.

Eg. low-tech method 'ls -l /dev/SEMD*' would list files backing the
named semaphores and show the ownership information. fstat(1) -m
or procstat(8) -v show the processes which currently have specific
semaphore open (AKA mapped). Current state of the semaphore can be
inspected with any file dump tool, even with hexdump(1).

Anonymous semaphores are somewhat harder to observe.
