NAME
       pipcrm - remove a POSIX message queue or a POSIX named semaphore

SYNOPSIS
       [option]...

DESCRIPTION
       The  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.

	      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 (see pipcs(1)).
