A MUTEX is a lock. You can place a MUTEX Lock on a resource among processes/threads in order to lock it. When MUTEX is released, the resource is also released.
A Semaphore is a signal raiser, or a token. When you wait for a MUTEX to be released, you might need to listen to a specific semaphore caused by the MUTEX release.
