    Get the name of this instance.

```
void destroy()
```
    Destroy this instance. Once destroyed, other references to the named instance, (including in other VMs), should not be used anymore. Access of destroyed instances will typically result in an EntryDestroyedException. The exception to this is the use of the getName method which will not result in an exception.
    Additionally, incrementing a DCounter instance from a different VM, after a destroy, will not result in an exception.
