NAME

       pipcrm - remove a POSIX message queue or a POSIX named semaphore

SYNOPSIS

       [option]...

DESCRIPTION

       The command removes one or more specified POSIX message queue or POSIX named semaphore.

   Options
       The identifiers are specified by the following options:

	      Unlinks the queue name from the message queue
			     specified	by the argument, msqname.  If there are no processes with existing open descriptors for the message queue,
			     the queue is destroyed.  If one or more processes have the message queue open, the removal of the queue is  postponed
			     until all descriptors for the queue have been closed.

	      Unlinks the semaphore name from the semaphore
			     specified	by the argument, semname.  If there are no processes with existing open descriptors for the semaphore, the
			     semaphore is destroyed.  If one or more processes have the semaphore open, the removal of the semaphore is  postponed
			     until all descriptors for the semaphore have been closed.

       The details of the removals are described in mq_unlink(2), and sem_unlink(2).  The names can be found by using (see pipcs(1)).

SEE ALSO

       pipcs(1), mq_unlink(2), mq_open(2), mq_send(2), mq_receive(2), sem_unlink(2), sem_open(2), sem_wait(2), sem_post(2).
