NAME

       timer_delete — delete a per-process timer (REALTIME)

LIBRARY

       POSIX Real-time Library (librt, -lrt)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <time.h>

       int
       timer_delete(timer_t timerid);

DESCRIPTION

       The  timer_delete()  system  call  deletes  the  specified  timer,  timerid,  previously  created  by the
       timer_create(2) system call.  If the timer is armed when timer_delete() is called, the behavior is as  if
       the timer is automatically disarmed before removal.  Pending signals for the deleted timer are cleared.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon  successful  completion,  the value 0 is returned; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global
       variable errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The timer_delete() system call will fail if:

       [EINVAL]           The timer ID specified by timerid is not a valid timer ID.

SEE ALSO

STANDARDS

       The timer_delete() system call conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2004 (“POSIX.1”).
