NAME

       lfc_delfilesbyname - delete the file entries corresponding to a list of path names

SYNOPSIS

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

       int lfc_delfilesbyname (int nbfiles, const char **paths, int force, int *nbstatuses, int **statuses)

DESCRIPTION

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

       nbfiles
              specifies the number of path names in the array paths.

       paths  specifies the list of logical path names relative to the current LFC directory or the list of full
              LFC path names.

       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.
