       dpm_rm - delete a set of files

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include "dpm_api.h"

       int dpm_rm (int nbsurls, char **surls, int *nbreplies, struct dpm_filestatus **filestatuses)

DESCRIPTION

       dpm_rm deletes a set of files from disk and from the name space.

       The input arguments are:

       nbsurls
              specifies the number of files belonging to the request.

       surls  specifies the array of file names.

       The output arguments are:

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

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

       struct dpm_filestatus {
            char      *surl;
            int       status;
            char      *errstring;
       };
