sem_unlink - remove a named semaphore
POSIX threads library (libpthread, -lpthread)
#include <semaphore.h>
int sem_unlink(const char *name);
sem_unlink() removes the named semaphore referred to by name.
The semaphore name is removed immediately. The semaphore is
destroyed once all other processes that have the semaphore open
close it.
On success sem_unlink() returns 0; on error, -1 is returned, with
errno set to indicate the error.
EACCES The caller does not have permission to unlink this
semaphore.
ENAMETOOLONG
name was too long.
ENOENT There is no semaphore with the given name.
