int reltimerid ( TimerID)
timer_t TimerID;
The reltimerid subroutine is used to release a previously allocated interval timer, which is returned by the gettimerid subroutine. Any pending timer event generated by this interval timer is cancelled when the call returns.
| TimerID | Specifies the ID of the interval timer being released. |
The reltimerid subroutine returns a 0 if it is successful. If an error occurs, the value -1 is returned and errno is set.
If the reltimerid subroutine fails, a -1 is returned and errno is set with the following error code:
| EINVAL | The timer ID specified by the Timerid parameter is not a valid timer ID. |
The gettimerid subroutine.
