NAME
       msem_remove - Removes a semaphore

LIBRARY
       Standard C Library (libc.a)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/mman.h>
       int msem_remove (      msemaphore *sem );

PARAMETERS
       Points to an msemaphore structure which specifies the semaphore to be removed.

DESCRIPTION
       The  msem_remove()  function  removes a binary semaphore.  Any subsequent use of the msemaphore structure before it is again initialized by
       calling the msem_init() function will have undefined results.

       The msem_remove() function also causes any process waiting in the msem_lock() function on the removed semaphore to return with an error.

       If the msemaphore structure contains any value not resulting from a call to  the  msem_init()  function	followed  by  a  (possibly  empty)
       sequence  of  calls to the msem_lock() and msem_unlock() functions, the result is undefined.  The address of an msemaphore structure may be
       significant.  If the msemaphore structure contains any value copied from an msemaphore structure at a  different  address,  the	result	is
       undefined.

NOTES
       Trial use

RETURN VALUES
       On  successful  completion, the msem_remove() function returns 0 (zero).  On error, the msem_remove() function returns -1 and sets errno to
       indicate the error.

ERRORS
       If the msem_remove() function fails, errno may be set to the following value: The sem parameter points to  an  msemaphore  structure  which
       specifies a semaphore which has been removed.
