rtf_destroy(2)

NAME

rtf_destroy - remove a real-time fifo created with rtf_create(2)

SYNOPSIS

#define MODULE
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/version.h>
#include <linux/errno.h>
#include <linux/rtf.h>

int rtf_destroy(unsigned int fifo);

DESCRIPTION

rtf_destroy removes a real-time fifo (RT-FIFO) previously created with rtf_create(2). fifo is then available for reuse by another call to rtf_create(2).

The RT-FIFO is a mechanism, implemented as a character device, to communicate between real-time tasks and ordinary Linux processes. The rtf_* functions are used by the real-time tasks; Linux processes use standard character device access functions such as read(2), write(2), and select(2).

RETURN VALUE

On success, 0 is returned. On failure, -1 is returned, and errno is set as described below.

ERRORS

-ENODEV: fifo is greater than or equal to RTF_NO.

-EINVAL: fifo is not a valid RT-FIFO identifier.
