SYSV semaphores and POSIX semaphores are completely independent.
POSIX semaphores are implemented as file objects in a private kernel
list, see _ksem(2). There is no way to enumate them. You can check
how many exist with:
% sysctl kern.posix
kern.posix.semmax = 128
kern.posix.semcnt = 0
Unnamed semaphores are deleted automatically when closed by all processes,
but named semaphores persist until deleted by a call to sem_unlink().
