NAME

       pmempool_rm() - remove persistent memory pool

SYNOPSIS

              #include <libpmempool.h>

              int pmempool_rm(const char *path, int flags);

DESCRIPTION

       The  pmempool_rm()  function removes the pool pointed to by path.  The path can point to a
       regular file, device dax or pool set file.  If path is a pool set file, pmempool_rm() will
       remove  all  part files from local replicas using unlink(2), and all remote replicas using
       rpmem_remove(3) (see librpmem(7)), before removing the pool set file itself.

       The flags argument determines the behavior of  pmempool_rm().   It  is  either  0  or  the
       bitwise OR of one or more of the following flags:

       • PMEMPOOL_RM_FORCE  -  Ignore  all  errors  when removing part files from local or remote
         replicas.

       • PMEMPOOL_RM_POOLSET_LOCAL - Also remove local pool set file.

       • PMEMPOOL_RM_POOLSET_REMOTE - Also remove remote pool set file.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, pmempool_rm() returns 0.  On error, it returns -1 and sets errno accordingly.
