Write a shell program with input
Hi,
Here is my question:
I want a shell script which I name as 'del', and can be used as del(string).
when run del(string), it will delete several directories at different locations in my system,like:
rm -fr /lustre/fs/scratch/user/$string
rm -fr /home/user/$string
rm -fr /archive/user/$string
.
.
and so on
Thanks!

gd_uninclude
gd_uninclude(3) GETDATA gd_uninclude(3)
NAME
gd_uninclude -- remove a format specification fragment from a dirfile
SYNOPSIS
#include <getdata.h>
int *gd_uninclude(DIRFILE *dirfile, int fragment_index, int del);
DESCRIPTION
The gd_uninclude() removes the format specification fragment indexed by fragment_index from the specified dirfile, as well as any fragments
the indicated fragment INCLUDEs. Fields defined in the removed fragments will be removed from the dirfile.
Before removing the specified fragment, all pending writes are flushed to RAW fields defined the the removed fragments. If del is zero,
metadata changes will also be written to the removed fragments. If del is non-zero, the format specification fragments will be deleted
from disk, if possible. Regardless of the value of del, binary data files associated with RAW fields defined in the removed fragments will
not be deleted. To delete these binary files, use gd_delete(3) before calling this function.
The primary format specification (the fragment indexed by zero) cannot be removed from the dirfile.
RETURN VALUE
On success, gd_uninclude() returns zero. 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 supplied dirfile was opened in read-only mode.
GD_E_ALLOC
The library was unable to allocate memory.
GD_E_BAD_DIRFILE
The supplied dirfile was invalid.
GD_E_BAD_INDEX
The supplied fragment index was out of range, or an attempt was made to remove the primary format specification.
GD_E_FLUSH
A temporary file could not be opened into which to write the metadata of a modified, removed fragment, or renaming the temporary
file over the original fragment failed.
GD_E_PROTECTED
The metadata of the fragment which included the removed fragment was protected from change.
GD_E_RAW_IO
An error occurred while trying to flush or close a removed 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). When finished with it, the DIRFILE object may be de-allocated with a call to gd_close(3), even if the open
failed.
NOTES
This function re-arranges the remaining format specification fragments in some unspecified way, except for the primary fragment, which is
guaranteed to remain at index zero. Callers which cache format specification fragment indices must re-initialise their cache after calling
this function.
Unlike gd_delete(3), fields which depend on fields removed by this function are not automatically updated, nor is any check made to ensure
that this function does not leave fields with missing input fields. Because of this, a fragment inclusion may be easily moved from one
fragment to another with a combination of gd_uninclude() and gd_include(3). However, if such checks are required, use gd_delete(3) to
delete the fields defined in the removed fragments first.
