TIMER_DELETE(3)            POSIX Programmer's Manual           TIMER_DELETE(3)



PPRROOLLOOGG
       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.

NNAAMMEE
       timer_delete -- delete a per-process timer

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
       #include <time.h>

       int timer_delete(timer_t _t_i_m_e_r_i_d);

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The _t_i_m_e_r___d_e_l_e_t_e() function deletes the specified timer, _t_i_m_e_r_i_d,
       previously created by the _t_i_m_e_r___c_r_e_a_t_e() function. If the timer is
       armed when _t_i_m_e_r___d_e_l_e_t_e() is called, the behavior shall be as if the
       timer is automatically disarmed before removal. The disposition of
       pending signals for the deleted timer is unspecified.

       The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the _t_i_m_e_r_i_d
       argument to _t_i_m_e_r___d_e_l_e_t_e() does not correspond to a timer ID returned
       by _t_i_m_e_r___c_r_e_a_t_e() but not yet deleted by _t_i_m_e_r___d_e_l_e_t_e().

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       If successful, the _t_i_m_e_r___d_e_l_e_t_e() function shall return a value of
       zero. Otherwise, the function shall return a value of -1 and set _e_r_r_n_o
       to indicate the error.

EERRRROORRSS
       No errors are defined.

RRAATTIIOONNAALLEE
       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the _t_i_m_e_r_i_d
       argument to _t_i_m_e_r___d_e_l_e_t_e() does not correspond to a timer ID returned
       by _t_i_m_e_r___c_r_e_a_t_e() but not yet deleted by _t_i_m_e_r___d_e_l_e_t_e(), it is
       recommended that the function should fail and report an [[EEIINNVVAALL]] error.
