       NAME
             _barrier_spin_destroy - destroy a spin type barrier

       SYNOPSIS
             cc [options] -Kthread file
             #include <synch.h>
             int _barrier_spin_destroy(barrier_spin_t *barrier);

          Parameters
             barrier  pointer to barrier to be destroyed

       DESCRIPTION
             _barrier_spin_destroy destroys the barrier pointed to by
             barrier.  This includes invalidating the barrier and freeing
             any associated implementation-allocated dynamic resources.

             Any user-allocated dynamic storage is unaffected by
             _barrier_spin_destroy and must be explicitly released by the
             program.

          Return Values
             _barrier_spin_destroy returns zero for success and an error
             number for failure, as described below.

          Errors
             If one of the following conditions is detected,
             _barrier_spin_destroy returns the corresponding value:

             EBUSY    A thread is still spinning at the barrier.

             EINVAL   Invalid argument specified.
