| 26 | .Sh NAME | |
| 27 | .Nm sem_unlink | |
| 28 | .Nd remove a named semaphore | |
| 29 | .Sh SYNOPSIS | |
| 30 | .Fd #include <semaphore.h> | |
| 31 | .Ft int | |
| 32 | .Fn sem_unlink "const char *name" | |
| 33 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
| 34 | The named semaphore named | |
| 35 | .Fa name | |
| 36 | is removed. If the semaphore is in use my other processes, then | |
| 37 | .Fa name | |
| 38 | is immeditately dissasociated with the semaphore, but the semaphore | |
| 39 | itself will not be removed until all references to it have been | |
| 40 | closed. Subsequent calls to | |
| 41 | .Fn sem_open | |
| 42 | using | |
| 43 | .Fa name | |
| 44 | will refer to or create a new semaphore named | |
| 45 | .Fa name . | |
| 46 | .Pp | |
| 47 | If successful, | |
| 59e0d9fe | 48 | .Fn sem_unlink |
| e9ce8d39 A |
49 | will return 0. Otherwise, -1 is returned and |
| 50 | .Va errno | |
| 51 | is set, and the state of the semaphore is unchanged. | |
| 52 | .Sh ERRORS | |
