    15 <p>Kernel objects such as mutexes, semaphores, threads, processes, timers

    16 are reference counting objects, i.e. they are instances of classes derived

    17 from <codeph>CObject</codeph>. The Kernel maintains all such objects in object

    18 containers, one container for each type; i.e. one for threads, one for processes,

    19 one for mutexes etc. as shown below.</p>
