In contrast, a port-deleted 43notification indicates that the port name is no longer usable 44(that is, it no longer names 45a valid right), typically as a result of the right so named being consumed or 46moved. <var>notify</var> is the port named via <strong>mach_port_request_notification</strong> 47or 48<strong>mach_msg</strong>. 49<h3>NOTES</h3> 50<p> 51This interface is machine word length specific because of the port name 52parameter. 53<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3> 54<p> 55Only generic errors apply. 56<h3>RELATED INFORMATION</h3> 57<p> 58Functions: 59<a href="notify_server.html"><strong>notify_server</strong></a>, 60<a href="seqnos_notify_server.html"><strong>seqnos_notify_server</strong></a>, 61<a href="mach_msg.html"><strong>mach_msg</strong></a>, 62<a href="MP_request_notification.html"><strong>mach_port_request_notification</strong></a>, 63<a href="do_mach_notify_no_senders.html"><strong>do_mach_notify_no_senders</strong></a>, 64<a href="DMN_port_deleted.html"><strong>do_mach_notify_port_deleted</strong></a>, 65<a href="do_mach_notify_send_once.html"><strong>do_mach_notify_send_once</strong></a>. 66
