/** @brief A classical semaphore, but blocking in the simulation world
- * @ingroup s4u_api
*
+ * @rst
* It is strictly impossible to use a real semaphore, such as
- * <a href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/sem_init.html">sem_init</a>,
+ * `sem_init <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/sem_init.html>`_,
* because it would block the whole simulation.
* Instead, you should use the present class, that offers a very similar interface.
*
- * As for any S4U object, Semaphores are using the @ref s4u_raii "RAII idiom" for memory management.
- * Use #create() to get a simgrid::s4u::SemaphorePtr to a newly created semaphore
- * and only manipulate simgrid::s4u::SemaphorePtr.
+ * An example is available in Section :ref:`s4u_ex_IPC`.
+ *
+ * As for any S4U object, you can use the :ref:`RAII idiom <s4u_raii>` for memory management of semaphores.
+ * Use :cpp:func:`create() <simgrid::s4u::Mutex::create()>` to get a :cpp:type:`simgrid::s4u::SemaphorePtr` to a newly
+ * created semaphore, that will get automatically freed when the variable goes out of scope.
