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

       int timer_delete(timer_t _t_i_m_e_r_i_d);

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The _t_i_m_e_r___d_e_l_e_t_e() function deletes the specified timer, _t_i_m_e_r_i_d,
       previously created by the _t_i_m_e_r___c_r_e_a_t_e() function. If the timer is
       armed when _t_i_m_e_r___d_e_l_e_t_e() 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.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       If successful, the _t_i_m_e_r___d_e_l_e_t_e() function shall return a value of
       zero. Otherwise, the function shall return a value of -1 and set _e_r_r_n_o
       to indicate the error.

EERRRROORRSS
       The _t_i_m_e_r___d_e_l_e_t_e() function may fail if:

       EEIINNVVAALL The timer ID specified by _t_i_m_e_r_i_d is not a valid timer ID.
