fndestroy/fnunbind Does Not Return Operation Failed

Symptom:

When you do an fndestroy or fnunbind on certain names that you know do not exist, you receive no indication that the operation failed.

Possible Cause:

The operation did not fail. The semantics of fndestroy and fnunbind are that if the terminal name is not bound, the operation returns success.

Diagnosis:

Run the fnlookup command on the name. You should receive the message, "name not found."

Solution:

Not applicable.
