DESCRIPTION

The pipcrm command removes one or more specified POSIX message queue or POSIX named semaphore.

Options

The identifiers are specified by the following options:

Unlinks the queue name from the message queue specified by the argument, msqname. If there are no processes with existing open descriptors for the message queue, the queue is destroyed. If one or more processes have the message queue open, the removal of the queue is postponed until all descriptors for the queue have been closed.

-s semname

Unlinks the semaphore name from the semaphore specified by the argument, semname. If there are no processes with existing open descriptors for the semaphore, the semaphore is destroyed. If one or more processes have the semaphore open, the removal of the semaphore is postponed until all descriptors for the semaphore have been closed.

The details of the removals are described in mq_unlink(2), and sem_unlink(2). The names can be found by using pipcs (see pipcs(1)).
