DESCRIPTION
The dat_cno_free() function destroys a specified instance of the CNO.
A CNO cannot be deleted while it is referenced by an Event Dispatcher
or while a thread is blocked on it.
RETURN VALUES
DAT_SUCCESS
The operation was successful.
DAT_INVALID_HANDLE
The cno_handle() parameter is invalid.
DAT_INVALID_STATE
Parameter in an invalid state. CNO is in use by
an EVD instance or there is a thread blocked on
it.
USAGE
If there is a thread blocked in dat_cno_wait(3DAT), the Consumer can do
the following steps to unblock the waiter:
o Create a temporary EVD that accepts software events. It can
be created in advance.
o For a CNO with the waiter, attach that EVD to the CNO and
post the software event on the EVD.
o This unblocks the CNO.
o Repeat for other CNOs that have blocked waiters.
o Destroy the temporary EVD after all CNOs are destroyed and
the EVD is no longer needed.
