LFC_DELFILESBYPATTERN(3)				       LFC Library Functions					  LFC_DELFILESBYPATTERN(3)

NAME
       lfc_delfilesbypattern - delete the file entries selected by pattern matching on basename

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

       int lfc_delfilesbypattern (const char *path, const char *pattern, int force, int *nbstatuses, struct lfc_filestatus **statuses)

DESCRIPTION
       lfc_delfilesbypattern  deletes  the  file entries selected by pattern matching on basename. If replicas exist and the force argument is not
       zero, all replicas are first removed.

       path   specifies the logical pathname relative to the current LFC directory or the full LFC pathname.

       pattern
	      allows to restrict the list of files to be deleted to entries having the basename starting with this  pattern.   pattern	should	be
	      terminated by a %.

       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 lfc_filestatus structures allocated by the API. The client application is responsible for
	      freeing the array when not needed anymore.

       struct lfc_filestatus {
	    char      name[CA_MAXNAMELEN+1];
	    int       errcode;
       };

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
       ENOENT	    The named directory does not exist.

       EACCES	    Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix or write permission is denied on the	parent	directory  or  the
		    parent has the sticky bit S_ISVTX set and

		      the effective user ID of the requestor does not match the owner ID of the file and

		      the effective user ID of the requestor does not match the owner ID of the directory and

		      the file is not writable by the requestor and

		      the requestor does not have ADMIN privilege in the Cupv database.

       ENOMEM	    Memory could not be allocated for marshalling the request or unmarshalling the reply.

       EFAULT	    path, pattern, nbstatuses or statuses is a NULL pointer.

       EEXIST	    File has replicas and force is zero.

       ENOTDIR	    A component of path prefix is not a directory.

       ENAMETOOLONG The length of path exceeds CA_MAXPATHLEN or the length of a path component exceeds CA_MAXNAMELEN.

       EINVAL	    The length of pattern exceeds CA_MAXNAMELEN.

       SENOSSERV    Service unknown.

       SEINTERNAL   Database error.

       SECOMERR     Communication error.
