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.
