Function
This command deletes a 16-character name from the name table. Use the Hang Up
command before you delete the name. If the name has active sessions when this
command is issued, the name is flagged as deregistered and the status, hex 0F
(command completed, name has active sessions) is returned to the user. The
actual deletion of the name does not occur until all sessions associated with
the name are closed or abnormally terminated. If the name has only pending
non-active session commands when the Delete Name command is issued, the name
is removed and hex 00 (command completed) is returned to the user. The pending
non-active sessions commands are terminated immediately with the "name was
deleted" status. Non-active session commands are:
. Listen
. Receive Any
. Datagram Receive
. Receive Broadcast Datagram

A name flagged as deregistered continues to occupy an entry in the local name
table until the deregistration is complete.
