9.3.5: Deleting a Semaphore

The rtems.semaphore_delete directive removes a semaphore from the system and frees its control block. A semaphore can be deleted by any local task that knows the semaphore's ID. As a result of this directive, all tasks blocked waiting to acquire the semaphore will be readied and returned a status code which indicates that the semaphore was deleted. Any subsequent references to the semaphore's name and ID are invalid.
