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.
