DESCRIPTION

21       The timer_delete() function deletes the specified timer, timerid,  pre‐
22       viously  created  by the timer_create() function. If the timer is armed
23       when timer_delete() is called, the behavior shall be as if the timer is
24       automatically  disarmed before removal. The disposition of pending sig‐
25       nals for the deleted timer is unspecified.
26

RETURN VALUE

28       If successful, the timer_delete() function  shall  return  a  value  of
29       zero.  Otherwise, the function shall return a value of -1 and set errno
30       to indicate the error.
31

ERRORS

33       The timer_delete() function shall fail if:

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