NAME

       dpm_rm - delete a set of files

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include "dpm_api.h"

       int   dpm_rm   (int  nbsurls,  char  **surls,  int  *nbreplies,  struct
       dpm_filestatus **filestatuses)

DESCRIPTION

       dpm_rm deletes a set of files from disk and from the name space.

       The input arguments are:

       nbsurls
              specifies the number of files belonging to the request.

       surls  specifies the array of file names.

       The output arguments are:

       nbreplies
              will be set to the number  of  replies  in  the  array  of  file
              statuses.

       filestatuses
              will  be  set  to  the  address  of  an  array of dpm_filestatus
              structures allocated by  the  API.  The  client  application  is
              responsible for freeing the array when not needed anymore.

       struct dpm_filestatus {
            char      *surl;
            int       status;
            char      *errstring;
       };

RETURN VALUE
