     19 <h1> The <tt>s6-fdholder-delete</tt> program </h1>
     20 
     21 <p>
     22 <tt>s6-fdholder-delete</tt> connects to a
     23 <a href="s6-fdholderd.html">fd-holding daemon</a> listening on a
     24 Unix domain socket, and deletes a file descriptor from the
     25 daemon storage.
     26 </p>
     27 
     28 <h2> Interface </h2>
     29 
     30 <pre>
     31      s6-fdholder-delete [ -t <em>timeout</em> ] <em>path</em> <em>id</em>
     32 </pre>
     33 
     34 <ul>
     35  <li> <tt>s6-fdholder-delete</tt> connects to a
     36 <a href="s6-fdholderd.html">s6-fdholderd</a> server process listening on
     37 <em>path</em>. </li>
     38  <li> It tells the server to close the file descriptor that has been
     39 stored with identifier <em>id</em>. </li>
     40 </ul>
     41 
     42 <h2> Options </h2>
     43 
     44 <ul>
     45  <li> <tt>-t&nbsp;<em>timeout</em></tt>&nbsp;: if the operation cannot be
     46 processed in <em>timeout</em> milliseconds, then fail with an error message.
     47 Communications with the server should be near-instant, so this option is
     48 only here to protect users against programming errors (connecting to the
     49 wrong socket, for instance). </li>
     50 </ul>
     51 
     52 <h2> Exit codes </h2>
     53 
     54 <ul>
     55  <li> 0: success. </li>
     56  <li> 1: the server denied the operation. The meaning of the error messages
     57 is explained <a href="s6-fdholder-errorcodes.html">here</a>. </li>
     58  <li> 100: wrong usage. </li>
     59  <li> 111: system call failed - this includes attempting to connect to a
     60 nonexistent socket, or one where no <a href="s6-fdholderd.html">s6-fdholderd</a>
     61 daemon is listening. </li>
     62 </ul>
     63 
     64 <h2> Usage example </h2>
     65 
     66 <pre>
     67    s6-fdholder-delete /service/fdholderd/s MYSOCKET
     68 </pre>
     69 
     70 <p>
     71 will tell an s6-fdholderd daemon listening on the
     72 <tt>/service/fdholderd/s</tt> socket to close the file descriptor 
     73 dentified as MYSOCKET.
