       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;
       };

RETURN VALUE
