SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -ldat [ library... ]
       #include <dat/udat.h>

       DAT_RETURN

	   IN	 DAT_CNO_HANDLE    cno_handle
	   )

PARAMETERS
       cno_handle    Handle for an instance of the CNO

DESCRIPTION
       The dat_cno_free() function destroys a specified instance of the CNO.

       A CNO cannot be deleted while it is referenced by an Event Dispatcher or while a thread is blocked on it.

RETURN VALUES
       DAT_SUCCESS	     The operation was successful.

       DAT_INVALID_HANDLE    The cno_handle() parameter is invalid.

       DAT_INVALID_STATE     Parameter in an invalid state. CNO is in use by an EVD instance or there is a thread blocked on it.

USAGE
       If there is a thread blocked in dat_cno_wait(3DAT), the Consumer can do the following steps to unblock the waiter:

	   o	  Create a temporary EVD that accepts software events. It can be created in advance.

	   o	  For a CNO with the waiter, attach that EVD to the CNO and post the software event on the EVD.

	   o	  This unblocks the CNO.

	   o	  Repeat for other CNOs that have blocked waiters.

	   o	  Destroy the temporary EVD after all CNOs are destroyed and the EVD is no longer needed.
