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.
