PROLOG
       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.


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.

       The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the  timerid  argument  to  timer_delete()  does  not
       correspond to a timer ID returned by timer_create() but not yet deleted by timer_delete().


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
       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.


EXAMPLES
       None.


APPLICATION USAGE
       None.


RATIONALE
       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the timerid argument to timer_delete() does  not
       correspond  to  a  timer  ID  returned  by  timer_create()  but  not yet deleted by timer_delete(), it is
       recommended that the function should fail and report an [EINVAL] error.


FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
