sem_destroy —
#include <semaphore.h>
int
sem_destroy(sem_t
*sem);
sem_destroy() function destroys the unnamed
semaphore pointed to by sem. After a successful call to
sem_destroy(), sem is unusable
until re-initialized by another call to sem_init().
sem_destroy() function returns the value 0 if
successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable
errno is set to indicate the error.
sem_destroy() will fail if:
sem_destroy() conforms to ISO/IEC
9945-1:1996 (“POSIX.1”).
POSIX does not define the behavior of
sem_destroy() if called while there are threads
blocked on sem, but this implementation is guaranteed
to return -1 and set errno to
EBUSY if there are threads blocked on
sem.
