sem_destroy() destroys the unnamed semaphore at the address pointed to by sem.

       Only a semaphore that has been initialized by sem_init(3) should be destroyed using sem_destroy().

       Destroying a semaphore that other processes or threads are currently blocked on (in sem_wait(3)) produces
       undefined behavior.

       Using  a  semaphore  that  has  been  destroyed  produces undefined results, until the semaphore has been
       reinitialized using sem_init(3).

EINVALsem is not a valid semaphore.

       sem_destroy - destroy an unnamed semaphore

       An unnamed semaphore should be destroyed with sem_destroy() before the memory in which it is  located  is
       deallocated.  Failure to do this can result in resource leaks on some implementations.

sem_destroy() returns 0 on success; on error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
