"semHandle" is a name or a handle?

Hi,

I am puzzled with an Ipc example notify_multicore.c (I remember there are similar things in other examples). The semphore created in .cfg is like this:

It seems to me semHandle is the name of the object. While in the .c code, see below, semHandle is still used as a handle from the function definiton of:

            Semaphore_pend(semHandle, BIOS_WAIT_FOREVER);

Could you explain it to me?

Thanks.
