SEM_UNLINK(2) BSD System Calls Manual SEM_UNLINK(2)NAMEsem_unlink -- remove a named semaphoreSYNOPSIS#include <semaphore.h> int sem_unlink(const char *name);DESCRIPTIONThe named semaphore named name is removed. If the semaphore is in use by other processes, then name is immediately disassociated with the semaphore, but the semaphore itself will not be removed until all references to it have been closed. Subsequent calls to sem_open() using name will refer to or create a new semaphore named name. If successful, sem_unlink() will return 0. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set, and the state of the semaphore is unchanged.ERRORSsem_unlink() succeeds unless: [EACCES] Permission is denied to be remove the semaphore. [ENAMETOOLONG] name exceeded SEM_NAME_LEN characters. [ENOENT] The named semaphore does not exist.SEE ALSOsem_close(2), sem_open(2), semctl(2), semget(2), semop(2)HISTORYsem_unlink() is specified in the POSIX Realtime Extension (1003.1b-1993/1003.1i-1995).
