 * Function:  sem_getvalue
 *
 * Description:
 *   This function updates the location referenced by 'sval' argument to
 *   have the value of the semaphore referenced by 'sem' without effecting
 *   the state of the semaphore.  The updated value represents the actual
 *   semaphore value that occurred at some unspecified time during the call,
 *   but may not reflect the actual value of the semaphore when it is
 *   returned to the calling task.
 *
 *   If 'sem' is locked, the value return by sem_getvalue() will either be
 *   zero or a negative number whose absolute value represents the number
 *   of tasks waiting for the semaphore.
 *
 * Parameters:
 *   sem - Semaphore descriptor
 *   sval - Buffer by which the value is returned
 *
 * Return Value:
 *   0 (OK), or -1 (ERROR) if unsuccessful
 *
 * Assumptions:
 *
