+<strong>Function</strong> - Deallocate all port rights associated with specified name.
+<h3>SYNOPSIS</h3>
+<pre>
+<strong>kern_return_t   mach_port_destroy</strong>
+                <strong>(ipc_space_t</strong>                               <var>task</var>,
+                 <strong>mach_port_name_t</strong>                          <var>name</var><strong>);</strong>
+</pre>
+<h3>PARAMETERS</h3>
+<dl>
+<p>
+<dt> <var>task</var> 
+<dd>
+[in task send right]
+The task holding the right.
+<p>
+<dt> <var>name</var> 
+<dd>
+[in scalar]
+The task's name for the right.
+</dl>
+<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
+<p>
+The <strong>mach_port_destroy</strong> function de-allocates all rights
+denoted by a name. 
+The name becomes immediately available for reuse. 
+<p>
+For most purposes, 
+<strong>mach_port_mod_refs</strong> and <strong>mach_port_deallocate</strong> are
+preferable.
+<p>
+If <var>name</var> denotes a port set, then all members of the port set are implicitly
+removed from the port set.
+<p>
+If <var>name</var> denotes a receive right that is a member of a port set,
+the receive right is 
+implicitly removed from the port set.  Remaining messages queued to the port 
+are destroyed and extant send and send-once rights turn into dead names.  If 
+those send and send-once rights have dead-name requests registered, then
+dead-name notifications are generated for them. 
+<p>
+If <var>name</var> denotes a send-once right, then 
+the destruction of the send-once right 
+produces a send-once notification for the port. 
+<p>
+If <var>name</var> denotes a send-once, send, and/or receive right, and
+it has a dead-name 
+request registered, then a port-deleted notification is generated
+(as opposed to a 
+dead-name notification).
+<h3>NOTES</h3>
+<p>
+This interface is machine word length specific because of the port name
+parameter.
+<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
+<dl>
+<p>
+<dt> <strong>KERN_INVALID_NAME</strong>
+<dd>
+The <var>name</var> parameter did not denote a right.
+</dl>
