If you are going through a list of files and passing them in, then you can use the ! -s options, ex if [ ! -s /mydir/myfile.txt ] to see if the file is zero size. Flagging them unsure, you could echo "DELETE" to the file or just delete them if the user doesn't want them right then. If you want the flag approach then you can go back later to see if the contents of the file says DELETE and if so delete them.

#include <sys/types.h> #include "lfc_api.h" int lfc_setfsizeg (const char *guid, u_signed64 filesize, const char *csumtype, char *csumvalue) DESCRIPTION
lfc_setfsizeg sets the filesize for a regular file having the given GUID; set also the last modification time to the current time. This function should only be called by the stager after the last write operation has been performed on the file. The file is identified by its guid. guid specifies the Grid Unique IDentifier. csumtype specifies the type of checksum. Valid types are: CS standard 32 bits checksum AD Adler 32 bits checksum MD MD5 128 bits checksum 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. ERRORS
EFAULT guid is a NULL pointer. EINVAL The length of the guid exceeds CA_MAXGUIDLEN or the length of the csumtype exceeds 2 or csumtype is an unknown type or the length of the csumvalue exceeds 32. SENOSHOST Host unknown. SENOSSERV Service unknown. SECOMERR Communication error. ENSNACT Name server is not running or is being shutdown. SEE ALSO
