Using semaphores instead of waiting..multithreading

[venkatacplpl]

he example creates 1 to t threads with each thread pointing to the next and the last thread pointing to the first thread. This program allows each thread to sequentially take a turn until all threads have taken n turns. That is when the program ends.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pthread.h>

int turn = 1;
int counter = 0;
int t, n;

struct tData {
        int me;
        int next;
};

pthread_mutex_t mutex;
pthread_cond_t cond;

void *tFunc(void *arg)
{
    struct tData *data;
    data = (struct tData *) arg;
    pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        while (turn != data->me)
            pthread_cond_wait(&cond, &mutex);
        counter++;
        turn = data->next;
        printf("%d goes (turn %d of %d), %d next\n", data->me, i+1, n, turn);
        pthread_cond_broadcast(&cond);
    }
    pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
}

int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
    t = atoi(argv[1]);
    n = atoi(argv[2]);
    struct tData td[t + 1];
    pthread_t threads[t + 1];
    int rc;

    pthread_mutex_init(&mutex, NULL);
    pthread_cond_init(&cond, NULL);

    for (int i = 1; i <= t; i++)
    {
        td[i].me = i;
        if (i == t)
            td[i].next = 1;
        else
            td[i].next = i + 1;

        rc = pthread_create(&threads[i], NULL, tFunc, (void *)&td[i]);
        if (rc)
        {
            printf("Error: Unable to create thread: %d\n", rc);
            exit(-1);
        }
    }
    void *ret;
    for (int i = 1; i <= t; i++)
        pthread_join(threads[i], &ret);
}

This was implemented using mutex and condition variables.
I am wondering how we can implement it using semaphores(please point out where shall I make changes in above code)?
I am new to multithreading and it looks like mutex and semaphore are used for the same purpose.

Thanks in advance.
