int lfc_delfilesbyguid (int nbguids, const char **guids, int force, int *nbstatuses, int **statuses)

lfc_delfilesbyguid deletes the file entries corresponding to a list of guids. If replicas exist and the force argument is not zero, all replicas are first removed.

nbguids

specifies the number of guids in the array guids.

guids

specifies the list of Grid Unique IDentifiers.

nbstatuses

will be set to the number of replies in the array of statuses.

statuses

will be set to the address of an array of integer statuses allocated by the API. The client application is responsible for freeing the array when not needed anymore.

This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately.

ENOENT

The named guid does not exist.

EACCES

the effective user ID of the requestor does not match the owner ID of the file and

the effective user ID of the requestor does not match the owner ID of the directory and

the file is not writable by the requestor and

the requestor does not have ADMIN privilege in the Cupv database.

ENOMEM

Memory could not be allocated for marshalling the request or unmarshalling the reply.

EFAULT

guids, nbstatuses or statuses is a NULL pointer.

EEXIST

File has replicas and force is zero.

EINVAL

nbguids is not strictly positive or the length of one of the guids exceeds CA_MAXGUIDLEN.

SENOSSERV
