NAME

       lfc_delfilesbyname - delete the file entries corresponding to a list of
       path names

SYNOPSIS

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

       int lfc_delfilesbyname (int nbfiles, const char **paths, int force, int
       *nbstatuses, int **statuses)

DESCRIPTION

       lfc_delfilesbyname  deletes the file entries corresponding to a list of
       path names. If replicas exist and the force argument is not  zero,  all
       replicas are first removed.

       nbfiles
              specifies the number of path names in the array paths.

       paths  specifies the list of logical path names relative to the current
              LFC directory or the list of full LFC path names.

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

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.
