SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>

#include "dpm_api.h"

int dpm_rm (int nbsurls, char **surls, int *nbreplies, struct dpm_filestatus **filestatuses)

DESCRIPTION

dpm_rm deletes a set of files from disk and from the name space.

The input arguments are:

nbsurls: specifies the number of files belonging to the request.
surls: specifies the array of file names.

The output arguments are:

nbreplies: will be set to the number of replies in the array of file statuses.
filestatuses: will be set to the address of an array of dpm_filestatus structures allocated by the API. The client application is responsible for freeing the array when not needed anymore.

struct dpm_filestatus {
	char		*surl;
	int		status;
	char		*errstring;
};
