PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (con-
       sult 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 (REALTIME)

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 shall fail if:

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