i didn't dig deep enough by myself yet. Could any one or the author explain briefly why there is no such key word? or something equivalent can be used in std::thread?
Thanks.

A semaphore is a low-level, multi-purpose synchronization tool. As such it is hard to use correctly.
The C++ thread library does not provide a semaphore. Instead it provides the things you would build with semaphores --- mutexes, condition variables and futures.
