.Dd February 15, 2000 .Dt SEM_DESTROY 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm sem_destroy .Nd destroy an unnamed semaphore .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libc .Sh SYNOPSIS n semaphore.h .Ft int .Fn sem_destroy "sem_t *sem" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn sem_destroy function destroys the unnamed semaphore pointed to by .Fa sem . After a successful call to .Fn sem_destroy , .Fa sem is unusable until re-initialized by another call to .Xr sem_init 3 . .Sh RETURN VALUES .Rv -std sem_destroy .Sh ERRORS The .Fn sem_destroy function will fail if: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EINVAL The .Fa sem argument points to an invalid semaphore. t Bq Er EBUSY There are currently threads blocked on the semaphore that .Fa sem points to. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr sem_init 3 , .Xr sem 4 .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn sem_destroy function conforms to .St -p1003.1-96 .

p .Tn POSIX does not define the behavior of .Fn sem_destroy if called while there are threads blocked on .Fa sem , but this implementation is guaranteed to return -1 and set .Va errno to .Er EBUSY if there are threads blocked on .Fa sem .
