* Function: sem_unlink
*
* Description:
* This function removes the semaphore named by the input
* parameter "name." If the semaphore named by "name" is
* currently referenced by other processes, the sem_unlink()
* will have no effect on the state of the semaphore. If
* one or more processes have the semaphore open when
* sem_unlink() is called, destruction of the semaphore
* will be postponed until all references to the semaphore
* have been destroyed by calls of sem_close().
*
* Parameters:
* name - Semaphore name
*
* Return Value:
* 0 (OK), or -1 (ERROR) if unsuccessful.
*
* Assumptions:
*
