## do_mach_notify_dead_name

Server Interface - Handle the current instance of a dead-name notification.

### SYNOPSIS

    kern_return_t   do_mach_notify_dead_name
                    (notify_port_t                           notify,
                     mach_port_name_t                          name);

    kern_return_t   do_seqnos_mach_notify_dead_name
                    (notify_port_t                           notify,
                     mach_port_seqno_t                        seqno,
                     mach_port_name_t                          name);

### PARAMETERS

notify
  [in notify (receive) right] The port to which the notification was sent.

seqno
  [in scalar] The sequence number of this message relative to the notification port.

name
  [in scalar] The dead name.

### DESCRIPTION

A do_mach_notify_dead_name function is called by notify_server as the result of a kernel message indicating that the port name is now dead as the result of the associated receive right having died. In contrast, a port-deleted notification indicates that the port name is no longer usable (that is, it no longer names a valid right), typically as a result of the right so named being consumed or moved. notify is the port named via mach_port_request_notification or mach_msg.

### NOTES

This interface is machine word length specific because of the port name parameter.

### RETURN VALUES

Only generic errors apply.
