gd_delete
gd_delete(3) GETDATA gd_delete(3)
NAME
gd_delete -- remove a field from a dirfile
SYNOPSIS
#include <getdata.h>
int gd_delete(DIRFILE *dirfile, const char *field_code, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The gd_delete() function attempts to delete the field specified by field_code in the dirfile specified by dirfile. The field_code should
not contain a representation suffix.
The flags argument influences how the deletion attempt occurs. It may be zero, for the default behaviour, or else one or more of the fol-
lowing flags, bitwise or'd together:
GD_DEL_DATA
If the field to be deleted is a RAW field, also delete the binary data file associated with it. If field_code specified a RAW
field and this flag is not specified, the field will still be deleted but the binary file will be left untouched.
GD_DEL_DEREF
If the field to be deleted is a CONST or CARRAY field which is used as a parameter in the specification of other fields, resolve
these other fields dependence on the deleted field by replacing instances of field_code in their field specifications with the val-
ue of the scalar field.
GD_DEL_FORCE
Delete the indicated field, even if it is used in the specification of other fields, either as a input for a derived vector field
or as a scalar parameter in a field specification.
GD_DEL_META
If the field to be deleted has metafields attached to it, attempt to delete those, too. If the field has metafields and this flag
is not specified, the call will fail with the GD_E_DELETE error.
RETURN VALUE
On successful deletion, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned and the dirfile error is set to a non-zero error value. Possible error
values are:
GD_E_ACCMODE
The specified dirfile was opened read-only.
GD_E_ALLOC
The library was unable to allocate memory.
GD_E_BAD_CODE
The field specified by field_code was not found in the database.
GD_E_BAD_DIRFILE
The supplied dirfile was invalid.
GD_E_DELETE
The attempt to delete the field failed. Either the specified field is used in the specification of other fields and GD_DEL_FORCE
or GD_DEL_DEREF was not specified, or it has metafields and GD_DEL_META was not specified.
GD_E_INTERNAL_ERROR
An internal error occurred in the library while trying to perform the task. This indicates a bug in the library. Please report
the incident to the GetData developers.
GD_E_PROTECTED
The metadata of the fragment containing the field was protected from change. Or, the deletion of the binary data file associated
with a RAW field was attempted and the data of the fragment was protected.
GD_E_RAW_IO
An error occurred while trying to close or delete the binary file associated with a RAW field.
GD_E_UNKNOWN_ENCODING
The GD_DEL_DATA flag was given but the encoding scheme of the indicated format specification fragment is not known to the library.
As a result, the library was unable to delete the binary file associated with a RAW field.
GD_E_UNSUPPORTED
The GD_DEL_DATA flag was given but the encoding scheme of the indicated format specification fragment does not support deleting the
binary file associated with a RAW field.
The dirfile error may be retrieved by calling gd_error(3). A descriptive error string for the last error encountered can be obtained from
a call to gd_error_string(3).
