NAME
lfc_delfilesbypattern - delete the file entries selected by pattern matching on basename
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include "lfc_api.h"
int lfc_delfilesbypattern (const char *path,
const char *pattern,
int force,
int *nbstatuses,
struct lfc_filestatus **statuses)
DESCRIPTION
lfc_delfilesbypattern
deletes the file entries selected by pattern matching on basename. If replicas
exist and the force argument is not zero, all replicas are first removed.
- path
-
specifies the logical pathname relative to the current LFC directory or
the full LFC pathname.
- pattern
-
allows to restrict the list of files to be deleted to entries having the basename
starting with this pattern.
pattern
should be terminated by a %.
- 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 lfc_filestatus structures allocated
by the API. The client application is responsible for freeing the array when not
needed anymore.
struct lfc_filestatus {
char name[CA_MAXNAMELEN+1];
int errcode;
};
RETURN VALUE
This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation
failed. In the latter case,
serrno
is set appropriately.
