NAME

       MPI_File_delete - Deletes a file.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h> int MPI_File_delete(const char *filename, MPI_Info info)

Fortran Syntax

       USE MPI
       ! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_FILE_DELETE(FILENAME, INFO, IERROR)
            CHARACTER*(*)  FILENAME
            INTEGER   INFO, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       static void MPI::File::Delete(const char* filename, const
            MPI::Info& info)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       filename  Name of file to delete (string).

       info      Info object (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_File_delete  deletes the file identified by the file name filename, provided it is not
       currently open by any process. It is an error to delete the file with  MPI_File_delete  if
       some  process  has  it open, but MPI_File_delete does not check this. If the file does not
       exist, MPI_File_delete returns an error in the class MPI_ERR_NO_SUCH_FILE.

ERRORS

       Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and
       Fortran  routines in the last argument. C++ functions do not return errors. If the default
       error handler is set to MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then  on  error  the  C++  exception
       mechanism will be used to throw an MPI::Exception object.

       Before  the  error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. For MPI I/O
       function errors, the default error handler is set to MPI_ERRORS_RETURN. The error  handler
       may    be   changed   with   MPI_File_set_errhandler;   the   predefined   error   handler
       MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL may be used to  make  I/O  errors  fatal.  Note  that  MPI  does  not
       guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
