NAME

       timer_delete — delete a per-process timer

SYNOPSIS

       #include <time.h>

       int timer_delete(timer_t timerid);

DESCRIPTION

       The  timer_delete()  function  deletes the specified timer, timerid, previously created by
       the timer_create() function. If the timer is armed  when  timer_delete()  is  called,  the
       behavior  shall  be  as  if  the  timer  is  automatically  disarmed  before  removal. The
       disposition of pending signals for the deleted timer is unspecified.

RETURN VALUE

       If successful, the timer_delete() function shall return a value of  zero.  Otherwise,  the
       function shall return a value of −1 and set errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The timer_delete() function may fail if:

       EINVAL The timer ID specified by timerid is not a valid timer ID.
