NAME

       lfc_delfilesbyguid - delete the file entries corresponding to a list of guids

SYNOPSIS

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

       int  lfc_delfilesbyguid  (int nbguids, const char **guids, int force, int *nbstatuses, int
       **statuses)

DESCRIPTION

       lfc_delfilesbyguid deletes the file entries corresponding to a list of guids. If  replicas
       exist and the force argument is not zero, all replicas are first removed.

       nbguids
              specifies the number of guids in the array guids.

       guids  specifies the list of Grid Unique IDentifiers.

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

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

RETURN VALUE

       This  routine  returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In
       the latter case, serrno is set appropriately.
